Pros

Customers. Good to meet great people.

Cons

Without a doubt, the worst retail company I've ever been duped into coming to work for. The store I took as manager had already gone through 4 store managers in less than one year. Red flag...stupid me. With over 25 years retail, I was told what was basically lies from day one. I was the man that could turn that store around. They forgot to tell me about the previous managers, the armed robberies with shots fired, that they were 5 months behind on freight, planograms, that there over 100 totes of product/merchandise in recieving as far back as 2015 that had never been worked, that there was over 1200 outside on the floor and little to no proper signage. The first 40 days there was no day off because off "issues". Should have quit then. Another red flag. Dahhh. You can not leave the building for lunch because there is NO coverage to do so. ABSOLUTELY no family time. If you go to church...forget about it. Many of us have trusted Glassdoor to get the lowdown on companies. Some may think these negative comments come from a angry disgruntled non productive employee. Not so. I'm a highly educated professional with a level head and numerous awards from my previous employer of 20 years. I'm over 50. If you have never heeded advice from anyone... for Gods sake and yours... Don't even think about working for this highly deceptive company. Today I Quit.

Pros

This was a good job with some great aspects from a professional view. The work was straightforward and by the book for the most part.

Cons

Unfortunately, at the time of my employment, there was a weird culture in the store which was being fostered by someone who I understand has been let go now. I was not comfortable continuing at this place once this person became my boss.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
