Pros

Easy to request off, great coworkers, awesome customers, great benefits, gorgeous store, discount at all three stores which is great! These are the only reason why I'm not voting 1 star.

Cons

Where to start... First, I don't know whether it's because, we are a new store or what the problem is but, I'll start with management. Our store manager is very young,unprofessional and extremely rude. She yells at our workers in front of our customers all the time threatening their jobs. Which is extremely unacceptable. She treats our back room staff like salves and expect so much out of all the workers while she doesn't want to help. Second; Management expects so much out of the coordinators they get mad at us when we can't put stuff out on the floor fast enough and is also mad when they want us to help out everywhere else but, where we need to be. The store isn't that big stuff all can't be done in a day. You can run tanks and merchandise at the same time and there is never anyone to help. Ever. Third; The back room is so unsafe. It's sometimes mountain of boxes so big and tall that you can't even walk back there. The backroom staff is so friendly and nice yet treated so poorly. Sometimes I'll drop back there and chat a little I'm the morning before the store is open and management had a problem with that. Half the time the backroom isn't allowed to come to the meetings in the morning. Which is unfair. Their jobs are constantly put on the line because, they don't process fast enough which is crap. Management told one of the best workers that she was too helpful and stopped scheduling her. Four; THERE aren't enough workers ever..

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
