Pros

I have nothing positive to say.

Cons

The management at the location I worked was far too condescending and engaged in micromanagement that created a hostile work environment. As a new hire for a seasonal position, I worked for 10 hours on my first day before I was permitted to end my shift. Every time I asked a question about how particular processes were done, the manager would go to another employee who had been there longer and ask them why they didn't teach me things properly and say things like "What's wrong with you? Haven't you been here long enough to know how to do that?" The work was very labor intensive and strenuous, and you were expected to keep your metrics and output at a level that I believe most would find unsustainable. Every time you made one small mistake, it was likely that a lecture was going to take place and halt all activity as the manager blew up the issue, inevitably making the rest of the day harder since time was being taken up by this kind of thing often.

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. 🙄
