Pros

Fun coworkers, sometimes nice customers

Cons

- Hours are inconsistent and are often slashed across the board despite being “understaffed”. When they do this they’ll then constantly harass you to come in on your off days, stay late, and come in early. - Management breathes down your neck after asking you to complete multiple different tasks at the same time in different parts of the store completely. - Constant drama and gossip between managers certain coworkers. It’s like highschool but worse because most people are just trying to show up and get through their shift. - Offers “key holder” and “cash lead” positions which just mean extra responsibility, but they will not offer a raise with it. Upon declining the position, I just get constantly harassed by managers to do the extra work anyways with no compensation. - Extremely low hourly pay compared to the average rates of other employers. People at McDonald’s start out making $2 more per hour.

Pros

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

Cons

The organization lacks a cohesive strategy and shows persistent resistance to change despite declining stock performance over the past several years. Our product and marketing efforts are no longer resonating with consumers, leadership effectiveness is inconsistent, and there are no defined career pathways for performers. Teams often work long hours due to constant rework and unclear direction. Firing the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Merchandising Officer have been some of the few genuinely strong decisions. They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
