Pros

Good Pay Nice Coworkers Good temporary Job

Cons

Managers will ask you to clean and do projects when base pay is 4$/hr and all money you make is from sales. If you open or close, you only make 4$/hr during that time

During opening and closing shifts, there may be times dedicated to cleaning and project work to ensure a smooth operation for both customers and associates.

If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can improve the associate experience, we encourage you to reach out to your store manager or HR representative. We're always looking for ways to enhance the work environment for our team members. Thank you again for your feedback. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3250
