Pros

One of my favorite jobs I have ever worked. Lots of opportunities to network and practice my skills in a small warehouse-ish setting.

Cons

Pay was awful. $14 an hour to be micromanaged by the store leader. Was only given three days of informal training with no prior experience. Receiver is the sole team member that has any daily communication with department leaders and corporate, and is assigned tasks aligning with team leader status, without the pay. Asked for a raise and was told it came with extra responsibility, which would have been fine if I wasn't already drowning in running my own department as a low level hire. Pay was not worth the massive influx of product and money.

Pros

Generally a good group of people. Work itself isn't terribly hard. Insurance is nice however, the pay is poverty wages,

Cons

Pay is called "competitive" It's competitive in the sense they pay dollars less than their competitors. You will be working solo mostly. There is zero payoff for doing a good job. Raises exist once a year set by union. These raises do not keep up with inflation. ALL PRODUCTS ARE 15-30% more expensive than other stores. Almost no one can afford to shop here that works here. If they do shop here they are paying between 50 cents to dollars more per item. The store is literally ripping off customers and workers. Work is do'able and can be completed if you bust your butt for a bit. The pay off? None. There's no raise, no bonus, they don't remember it for future raises. Working full time and getting between 370 and 500 a week is not livable. They talk about community helping which they do however its the cheapest way to pretend to care vs paying people who work there in the community more so there would be LESS people in need, No sense of purpose.
