Pros

They provide medical and dental benefits.

Cons

Zero work life balance. You are texted and called multiple times a day to confirm completion of tasks. You are required to load a suite of apps on your phone that keep you connected 24 - 7. Lowest payroll I've ever had to manage in 20 years. If you are granted 10 extra hours to help with workload it's like winning the lottery. Unrealistic time lines and new projects are added daily. I have never worked for a company that made things so complicated to run a business. There are so many senior leaders adding new initiatives daily. The other half of your day is taking pictures of the completed tasks to prove they are done. They claim to be the caring company but that couldn't be farther from the truth. You're encouraged ( Forced by AI Scheduled interviews )to hire new associates weekly in search of the most productive people. Then you have 0 payroll to support them. Upper management is either totally oblivious to the stores actual needs or are directed to ignore the reality of what is happening. Forget taking care of the customer. Thats never mentioned. So many other worthy companies to work for. Don't waste your valuable time here.

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. 🙄
