Pros

Good coworkers and I do enjoy my job itself, just not a career though.

Cons

Terrible store management, much more stressful then it needs to be.

Pros

All of the coworkers were really sweet, opportunity to work with a diverse team, chance to enhance customer service skills.

Cons

Might have just been my location but no breaks at all despite long periods of standing (and being told I would get breaks), was working at a high-volume location in my department alone, insensitive to employee health concerns (i.e., got told I couldn't leave early when I literally couldn't hold back tears in front of customers and had a high fever), unclear policies like the probationary period, ABRUPT termination without proper communication beforehand for something that could have been worked around, and a lack of genuine care for employees wellbeing.

Pros

I enjoyed the family aspect of some of my co workers

Cons

If you have a bad manager that insults and harases you and your co workers hr will do nothing. Absolutely no training learn as you go with no help from management. For the pay it's untimely not worth the turmoil.
