Pros

Literally no pros to this job at all. I wouldn’t suggest my worst enemy work here.

Cons

Absolutely everything. Pay is trash, management is trash, compensation is trash. The 401k is a joke and they are notorious for firing people before they reach vesting status so they don’t have to comp them the full amount. The mandatory stock enrollment is predatory as all get out and the only way they can claim they are employee owned.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
