Pros

Health insurance is cheap and now that they have a decent network we have actual doctors to pick from versus the zero before. Relatively flexible scheduling as long as you don't request time off the week before or of a holiday. Everything else is a con.

Cons

Abysmal allocation of hours to do the job. Job takes 16 hours you will get 8 because the multibillion dollar corporation cant afford to give you the proper amount of time to do the job. Tasks are added every period and hours allocated to do the tasks are reduced because of "efficiency improvements." Expectations are for everything to be flawless from open to close. You spend half your shift taking pictures of your department and store as proof that workers did something. The hourly pay is absolutely horrendous given the expectations the company has. My hourly pay barely covers expenses to rent a one bedroom apartment. The second you stop moving an alarm goes off and a manager shows up in your department to point out everything wrong and wonders why you aren't moving. Raises are never more than 25¢/hr/year. The company acts like its on the verge of liquidation at all times. Have you done your Fresh Start yet today!
