Pros

The benefits was the best part for me. The other employees were really friendly. I liked that I basically got to wear whatever I wanted just as long as no logo was showing. I was a cashier and I was able to work in different areas so I didn't have to do the same thing every single day. Whenever I had a problem, I was able to talk it out with my supervisor and it would get resolved.

Cons

Most of the cashiers were getting fired out of the blue. That's what happened to me. It seemed like the head cashiers were really bitchy all the time. It made me nervous when they were around just because they had a problem with everything. I overheard the head cashiers a lot saying who they didn't like and so on. All the new cashiers would somehow have money missing. It was just weird.

Pros

Benefits. The only reason most anyone works there. You can earn a good bit of knowledge and some even leave to become contractors or handyman with no prior experience. Hours are flexible for students.

Cons

Strong nepotism. Family members are promoted almost immediately. Part timers are cut at will constantly. Nearly all the stores are filthy. Employee bonus and discounts are non existent. Management staff is usually ignoramus. Management-Employee affairs are almost comically too common. No control of anything. Cashiers are slaves to the front end. The Dept headds or IMAs can only order certain things, Atlant HQ places automatic orders, which is completey ridiculous, they have no idea what certain stores need at any given time.

Pros

Benefits are ok, hours are fairly flexible but nothing special. Holiday pay and vacation and sick pay are nice to have and the employee stock purchase plan is beneficial.

Cons

They tight on hours over 40 and dont like to give you weekends off ever, which makes sense for retail but it still sucks. Company is cutting hours company wide and ever store is losing people. Working is becoming more and more stressful because they expect more and more out of less and less people every week it seems like. At some point there will be so few employees per customer that they will all go crazy.
