No accountability

Pros

Salaried employees are the only ones being paid a living wage

Cons

There are no systems in place to hold corporate accountable for what they do wrong or need to fix. Stores will be penalized for the company’s mistakes. Employees are not paid a living wage and the company has openly admitted to managers that they will never pay a living wage. You’ll be asked to routinely work ten to twelve hour shifts. You’ll have no life except when you’re on PTO, and even then your district managers will expect you to be working for the good of your store. Make no mistake, there is no work life balance and there never will be. They care about converting customers to cardholders more than they care about sales. Product quality continuously declines while prices continue to rise.
