Pros

Overall it is a good company to work for. If you do a good job within your department you will get a decent amount of hours if you are part time, however this doesn't apply to full time because you get almost 40 anyways. The customers are very friendly. It is a good environment to work in and it would make a good place of employment for anyone still in high school or college depending on your availability.

Cons

It is very easy to get written up or a "discussion point" over very small things. If you are using incorrect safety practices for example and they watch the cameras you will get in trouble. Oftentimes you are scheduled in the middle of the day, maybe a shift from 12 to 8 or 2 to 10, it can be very inconvenient especially on the weekends..

Pros

Part-timers eligible for Dental, Vision (for small fee) and 401K. Part-timers participate in profit sharing bonuses. Relatively easy to get last minute time-off if you can swap shifts with someone.

Cons

Starting hourly pay varies based on "experience". No new-hire orientation, per se. Training is computer based. Part-timers only eligible for vacation if scheduled 1000 hours/year (averages to 20 hours/week). Problem is, you never average enough hours to be eligible. Inconsistant hours - may work 8 hours one week, 25 the next. Difficult to budget time and money. Extremely poor new-hire and on-going training. Extremely poor communication between store management and hourly employees. Nepotism. A lot of favoritism. Part-time cashiers (not sure about other departments) are scheduled to be "On-call" 1 day a week, which requires you to call in to see if you are needed. The draw-back is, you cannot make any plans for that day. Lack of leadership and people skills in those who hold positions of authority. Does not appear to be any developmental focus in this area at all. A lot of turn-over. Doctor's note required if you call out sick. For a part-timer, this may mean a week's pay or more if you do not already have insurance. Very difficult (if not impossible!) to go full-time.
