Horrible management and payrate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only pro I would say was the environment if my co workers in GS CE and BYO

Cons

Management and pay rate they are horrible, managers fired a bunch of people during covid without notice, what makes it worse is that they waive the attendance policy and still fire people without prior notice.

Pros

Team members are really friendly; benefits options are great

Cons

The pay isn't quite enough for me to move out of my place as an independent adult, and web orders is something that should have two people for when it get busy; plus some parts of the store could use better organization
