Pros

It's a job. Guests (customers) aren't bad or unruly like you find at many other retailers. Full timers average at least 40 hours a week. SPIF's are great add long as you're not at a new store. You get a SPIF for helping somebody fill out a credit card application, seeing extended warranties

Cons

Scheduling, favoritism, breaks and meal periods, (or lack thereof), promotions only happen if you're a favorite, pay scale is low especially in the beginning with an education and experience, fines for managers for several reasons (I.e. Inventory, payroll, accidentally breaking a tablet, or having an accident on a fork lift etc.). Hard to control inventory when something says it's here but doesn't actually show up for three or four days. Too many people adjusting inventory. Managers also should never have only 6 hours between shifts.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
