Pros

The benefits and the pay are actually pretty good for someone that doesn't have higher education. Most stores are union so it's really hard to get fired.

Cons

The downside is quite unfortunate. They do anything and everything to save a dollar. I've seen people argue for pay raises that they were already due to receive (Being on scale of course), people harassed to return from fmla, injuries that get denied in L&I claims for the sake of saving money. I used to tell people to apply. I really did. Bit after seeing how they treat their employees and how replaceable they are..... I wouldn't recommend this company to someone who was homeless, jobless and desperate. If I were you..... I'd just keep looking for another job

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
