Pros

There's hours to go around.

Cons

Management uses fear based training. The most toxic managers who treat the employees like dirt have immunity and avoid consequences because of seniority. There have been HR involvement addressing the issues and nothing comes from it. They will threaten to write you up simply because you can't complete a task in a ridiculous amount of time even if the shift is short staffed. The female store manager on Kings Canyon has a disgusting attitude and yells and cusses at staff to get them to work with little guidance or directions. She has no patience to train properly. The now District manager is an enabler and always makes excuses for her. Stating that she means well or she's just going through a lot. But never reprimanding the behavior. If You don't do your job as quickly as they want you to, then they retaliate by cutting your hours the following week or make you close on weekends or they purposely deny any requested days off. It's a very toxic environment. Most employees are miserable there. They really talk up the job at the interview. Steer clear.

Pros

Work/life balance. If you’re looking for an easy, unchallenging job, this is the place for you. Pay commensurates with the type of work. I’d recommend this position to those who are unmotivated in climbing the corporate ladder and are looking for an easy paycheck.

Cons

Disregard for Planners. Buyers are the only ones with opinions that matter. Constant revolving door in the Planning dept as well as Buying dept. CEO holds store employees as more valuable employees vs. their corporate counterparts. Many employees in corporate have only a high school degree and are promoted into buying and planning positions due to their years of service on the sales floor.
