Pros

The discount is good and it's 15 cents higher than minimum wage.

Cons

2/3 of my managers treat their employees with disrespect. Says to respect them, but doesn't respect us. One of my managers is rude to customers. Whenever a manager is needed for a pick up or an exchange, nobody comes. Such a hassle for managers to do their job.

Pros

I worked on the production team in a recently opened store (only a little over a year or so old), and I have to say, the initial production team was a dream. They were amazing people to work with and spend day after day with. The customers tend to make a bit of a mess at times, but they also are some of the kindest people you'll meet. Even though I spent most of the time in the back, I knew a lot of our regulars by their first names, as they always went out of their way to say hi.

Cons

Management doesn't care. They'll overwork you, and yell at you when you don't do the job 10 other people should. When you're in the back, it's snowing outside, and they refuse to close doors? This job will slowly kill you. Management acted like a bunch of spoiled kids with no real attitude on how to deal with actual humans. They failed to meet multiple safety requirements. Working 10-12 hour shifts in the these conditions, plus having to cover the multiple empty vacancies, is way too much work for minimum wage.

Pros

The discount is nice. Unfortunately, you have to wait a couple of days for most fresh items to be on the sales floor before your employee discount applies to those items. Most of my co-workers were nice and agreeable to me, which helped a lot, especially on days when it was hard to keep going. Managers were accommodating when it came to creating my schedule. If I needed a particular day off, I always got it.

Cons

The training was pretty much non-existent. This made it very difficult to do the job as I often didn't know to what to do in certain situations. Also, I would sometimes receive conflicting instructions or advice on a certain task depending on who the acting manager was. My work day could go smoothly or terribly depending on who the acting manager was. Some of the managers were great and others definitely needed more training on management and leadership. Additionally, I didn't always get real constructive feedback on what I was doing right or wrong. A manager might say "Great job" or "That was great!" but never say why. What was worse was when I clearly annoyed a manager but didn't know why. I suppose the worse part were the rude or selfish customers but that is something to be expected at most chain retail stores. The compensation is very little. I got paid minimum wage and worked a part time schedule which varied a lot week to week. So beyond your pay and the employee discount, don't expect any other form of compensation.
