Pros

No pros to consider except with my personal proximity to the store I work.

Cons

Hourly pay starting at $7.40 and maxing out at $11.00, being forced to join a Union despite my knowledge the union gives most of the dues to the Democratic party that are the possible reason for employees being reduced to 24 hours a week should the Employer Mandate for Obamacare be implemented, being unable to take holidays as travel time with my loved ones that have the holidays off without going to the Store Director for intervention. There are no benefits that are worth signing up for as it would take at least half my monthly income. Also, the point system that penalizes Team Members and Team Leaders alike for calling in when sick or being late to work when they cannot control it. I know of a few Team Members who have been terminated due to too many absence points.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
