Pros

I honestly can not think of one single thing that is a pro about working for this company

Cons

Where should I begin? The company is ran by a bunch of money hungry CEO'S or slave masters as I would like to call them. The amount of work expected from the management team is absolutely ridiculous and the pay for it is a joke. Payroll is so low that the managers have to make up for all the extra hours that need to be put in to get the crazy work load done. The entire time i was assistant manager here I never seen a work week that consisted of my required 52 hours a week. It was always more. They expect you to always go the extra mile and give up your life and that wouldn't be to bad if there was a little bit of appreciation and recognition for your hard work but no, don't expect that. Oh and if you have a problem with anything, don't expect any action to be taken. HR is also another joke. harassment and intimidation are allowed apparently.I made a complaint to the vice president about some things and was told it would be confidential.Thirty minutes later the district manager was on the phone with the store manager telling everything, should have seen that coming honestly. They don't stand behind any of their own policies, so when you do your job and a customer does not like their return policy and you deny them the return all they have to do is call corporate, and low and behold they don't back their management team making you look like the biggest jerk in front of customers. They cater to the lower income based markets, and put all stores in low income neighborhoods which is not a problem because I loved some of the customers that came into my store, but they corporate freaks out when they come in an your store has been turned upside down completely by the careless customers and due to no payroll there are no employees there to clean the train wreck. Everything is cheap. The merchandise, the buildings they place these stores in. Even the fixtures and counters they use to hold the merchandise are crap and broken. Really I could go on forever, but I hope you get the point. I have never been this miserable. Save yourself a visit to your psychiatrist and a prescription of nerve medication and keep looking. Broke, unemployed but peaceful is better than abused , worked into the ground and completely miserable. .

Pros

I have to think far to long to even consider a "pro" in this job

Cons

LOW PAY. Poor Insurance Plan-only covers employee, no family policy offered. Long Work Hours-No quality of Life. Disenchanted Regional and Corporate Supervisors that emote no passion for the work they do. No employee benefits or perks. Disorganized operation-from corporate, and DC. Causes problems in a small store with no payroll. DID I Mention LOW PAY? Working on Thanksgiving. No store discount. A lot of NO's. Customer base is the uneducated poor and retirees. Hard to encourage sales to the market your preying on. Customer Base also acts as if they've never been in a store before, tearing up every display, aisle, shelf, and stackout. Never enough hours to recover business properly with the payroll allotted.

Pros

Pay was fair for the position.

Cons

Pay is very low for hourly employees therfore you couldn't get the best help. The ones that stuck in there and did work were overworked and under paid. The insurance the company offers is sub-par. To insure just myself was $400 a month, to add one child only would have cost an additional $1000 a month. The first time I got a prescription filled it was $60 using good RX if I had used my insurance it would have been $132 what is the use of even having the insurance. If you happen to be sick anytime during your first year of employment they do not pay sick time even though you are on salary. After one year you get a weeks vacation, it takes three years to get to two weeks. You are required to work 48 hours a week. During the holiday season you work 6 days a week, mandatory. You can have 2 additional days off in January if you work 6 days a week during the 6 weeks you are required to work 6 days. Christmas day and Thanksgiving day count as days off no extra day for holiday pay. I could go on and on, this is the worst company I have ever worked for and I have 35 years in retail.
