      Good company to work for if you need a job.

      Pros

      Easy mindless work. They are pretty flexible on scheduling and management is excellent. Managers are more than willing to help you succeed in the work place which is hard to find in a company.

      Cons

      Pay is horrible. Not too much room to grow with the company unless you want to devote your whole career to them.

      Pros

      I feel like my coworkers are my family. My supervisors ALWAYS work with me to make whatever accommodations are necessary (scheduling, etc.)

      Cons

      You don't earn Paid Time Off (My Time Off) until you have been working at the store for a complete year at 30 hours a week or more (It may be 35). If you miss a day because you're sick and you only get 25 hours or whatever for the week, you have to start counting your year all over again.

      Pros

      Many convenient store locations Fairly good orientation program Variety of departments to work in Co-workers seemed dedicated to their jobs

      Cons

      If you aren't working at a cash wrap ringing customers out, the day goes SLOWLY I mean how often can you fold clothes on a table before it drives you mad?? Unpredictable scheduling--I was told during interview that my shift would be a steady early morning one to put stock out on the salesfloor. However I was primarily working late nights until 9 or 10. When I brought this to management's attention they fluffed me off saying it would come "in time." I left after a month.
