Pros

-Decent starting pay (giving it two stars instead of one for this reason alone) -PPTO is nice -Coworkers are fine, made a few friends (my location at least)

Cons

-HORRIBLE Members, cry at least once a shift. I’ve been assaulted and harassed at previous jobs but NOTHING is compared to these demon-spawn members. - Constant numbers pushing. If you’re not making good numbers (credit card, Plus upgrade, scan and go) they’re pulling you into the office to nag you about numbers and cut your hours big time. -No work/life balance. Didn’t even know that was possible with only part time but yeah they somehow make it near impossible. They change your hours at the last minute even if you’d scheduled your week around it, deny PTO like CRAZY, and they denied me unpaid time off for my birthday (I put it in three weeks in advance).

Pros

It's a paycheck to pay your bills. There are some good people here but they won't stay.

Cons

They use a point system. If you are sick or taking care of a sick family member they will still give you 1 point a day until you reach 5 when absent. Even the death of a family member is no excuse. Single parent with sick kids doesn't matter. There is no sick leave paid or otherwise. After 5 points they will fire you. Doctor notes are not accepted. They say it's a business decision. Good luck and good bye. They also want to work you to death. Always understaffed. 8 hours on your feet on a cement floor. You never stop. They will also try to gaslight you. If you are hired keep looking for another job. We have a high turnover. There are better places to work. I'm training for another career and I'll be gone soon.
