Pros
People have to pay rent, mortgages, cable, cell phone bills, medical bills, child support, grocery bills, buy clothes, do laundry, buy cars, pay for gas, send kids to school and college, to on vacation, buy ipods, tithe, etc. Maybe they can't find a job anywhere else. Or maybe Rite Aid paid a quarter more than somebody else. Maybe it's closer to where they stay. Maybe they are doing their required duty of looking for a job and accidently got hired. Then actually someone may just one want to get out of the house, and they really don't care what they have to put with.
Cons
I don't see a very long future for Rite Aid. They have a lot of store for sure, but the certainly don't act like they know what to do with them. There aren't very many companies whose stock has been as low as Rite Aid that have made a sustained recovery. They are not the kind of company that much ability to gain employee confidence. I would say most employees are just dreaming of where they can work next. Also there is no security, and many of these stores have been involved in robberies.
