Pros

The company offers its employees a generous discount. To qualify for full-time status and retirement benefits, supervisors, lead store managers, and assistants must demonstrate open availability. Part-time sales associates and cashiers generally experience flexible scheduling, as the organization has a limited number of full-time positions. The management team prioritizes maintaining a clean and organized break room, complete with snacks such as chips, candy, protein bars, soup, and macaroni and cheese, and a refrigerator stocked with soda, water, and juice.

Cons

The company has a lax hiring process, essentially hiring anyone after a single interview without adequately evaluating their suitability for the organization. Supervisors and assistant managers have poor working relationships, leaving leads caught in the middle. The store manager seems out of touch, disregarding employee ideas for enhancing the work environment. The store's clutter and understaffing stem from prioritizing the rapid transfer of stock from the backroom to the sales floor over maintaining a clean and organized shopping environment. The management team shows little concern for maintaining a neat and organized sales floor, overlooking the benefits of assigning sales associates to specific departments to ensure tidiness and organization.

Pros

The discounts are great! If one of the good managers/team leads is working, I'll be able to get an extra smoke break or maybe even two. Otherwise, it's not happening. They've been very, very flexible with everyone's hours! Much better than anywhere else I've worked! I really appreciate that the majority of the staff haven't been racist, discriminating, judgemental, etc. They've given work opportunities to all types of people (they're not picky on one's race, disability, age, looks, etc). 👍 They really do seem to be an equal-opportunity employer.

Cons

There has been lots and lots of theft because they have absolutely no security other than their products' tags. Almost rarely do we see a janitor or the manager. It's been very hard to get used to coworkers because they're constantly going through staff! It's not just me that's been bothered by it. Plus, SO many staff, including myself, have always whined and complained about our lack of hours, but the full-time staff get overtime?! Yeah, the amount of hours absolutely sucks when it's not a big "shopping" time! Your best luck for getting your wanted hours is only around Christmas and back-to-school. 🙄
