Pros

The customer, I'd say, were a big highlight.

Cons

Management sucked. It's a secret society. They promote based on friendships. They say it's an open door policy but true in reality. We're humans, so we're flawed.

Cons

-always short staffed -micromanaging from upper management -managers perceiving everything said as negative -coworkers are lazy and don’t want to do their jobs -HR is NOT helpful at all; they’re either non responsive or have no answers to your questions -favoritism when people are moving into other positions -constant stress from the amount of work they pile on you while management sits in the back with zero clue about what is going out on the floor

Pros

The benefits and pay are some of the best in the business, especially for a big box retailer. Some members of management actually care.

Cons

There is no accountability in the store. Steering managers are quick to throw their managers under the bus to cover their own behinds. There’s fraudulent activity going on in most areas of the store, especially with inventory, receiving, and returns. One specific manager has the highest turnover rating, but they claim “people just don’t want to work,” when we all know the problem is that manager and not the people.
