Hostile Work Environment

Pros

customers and low level employees are nice and caring. Good benefits even for part time. If it was not for the management team I would actually love this job.

Cons

extremely stressful environment because it all gets dumped on low level employees. Managers are very disrespectful to employees and customers. no positive feedback. Ive been there a month and have not heard thank you or good job once. If you need a manager be prepared to catch an attitude. cashiers are afraid to even call on them. Part time is not 35+ a week.
