Pros

You work with some good people.

Cons

Management is out of control. They are very disrespectful of team members. Verbally and mentally! There are so many reports against them, yet nothing ever gets done about it. When you want to take a vacation or personal day, forget it; you are fought tooth and nail. If you do get it, then they mess with your schedule. Need to hire more people. They keep cutting labor, yet they still act as though you have a whole team working the floor. When in realtiy, you're lucking to have 2 working the floor. Usually it's one person.

Pros

-Employees get automatic raises throughout the year -Employees are offered a reward program after 3 months that gives back a percentage of the hours they worked in a given quarter; the percentage level is based on certain standards across the store -Certain part time positions are given 40+ hours -Business is run like a union without a union; overtime is given for 8+ hours in the day or 40+ hours in the week -Employees who work over a year receive 1 week paid vacation -Employees receive a discount card and special offers around the holidays -Store rewards employees for meeting sales goals or in celebrating holidays with free meals

Cons

-Management is very stubborn when it comes to hiring new employees; they'd rather work the current set of employees harder than hire someone new -Some upper management have absolutely no respect for their employees; pure arrogance!! -Stressful work environment when constantly pressured to work harder; some stockers had to run up and down the aisles to meet case counts -Employee recognition is scarce
