Pros

I truly cannot think of one positive aspect of my employment here.

Cons

Understaffed, under-paid compared to expectations, VERY HIGH employee turnover. Most employees walk out within first day to a week. Staff members do not communicate at all ; ZERO team atmosphere. The lazy get rewarded, hard workers go unoticed or punished. Multiple cases of key holders and managers stealing and pinning it on cashiers, they were in the processing of suing 2 minimum wage employees for unsubstantiated theft. Manager only counts ending drawer with no cashier verification or liability protection. Zero health or any other benefits, zero training. Very rude staff, management & customers. I was sexually harassed by a Sr. Executive Manager in front of witnesses, I am on SSDI dbl... and zero accomadations were made for my disability, Managers and Executive Staff ALL enter the store but refuse to acknowledge any employee beneath their title, they refuse to say hello or even visually acknowledge you. Although, the expectation is that you greet them and every customer that walks into the store or you can get a write up. Disgusting atmosphere.... literally had customers peeing in the isles, using stolen pregnancy tests in store, not wearing pants, drunks... Needles in parking lot. Associates not allowed to park in front of building, even if making a company cash deposit, NO cameras on side of building. Very unsafe. Attempted armed robbery during my presence.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
