Pros

The pay was good after 18 years of terrible stress and back breaking work with a tiny staff due to corporate greed.

Cons

After 18 years the company has gotten so much worse and so embarrassing to work for as most stores are in deplorable conditions .Even after my last store in Venice was remodeled. It was a dirty disaster and I was expected to open with filthy and dangerously slippery floors after so called remodel.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
