      Pros

      There was a lot of nice staff members but others were rude and horrible, I often witnessed them bully other staff members

      Cons

      -pay simply isn’t enough for the volume of work -store managers do not care, I was in hospital and they were calling me telling me I needed to be in at 5am. -excessive work load 15 hour days and only 30 minute breaks, they would make you work back 30 minutes if you wanted to extend to an hours break but it would take going through multiple managers to get the okay that you could have an hours break and most the time you would be denied.

      Pros

      Solid health benefits and PTO time but won’t be long before they cut that back as well.

      Cons

      Overworked, underpaid, under appreciated, no consistency in upper management. Constantly changing operations.
