Pros

Flexible schedule if you are part time... full time, forget it, you're stuck. Weekend pay is a small benefit.

Cons

No formal training in a dept... a very large packet of information that is not helpful and after being in a department makes you laugh at the "information" they provide. Your "merit" raises consist of 10 cents every 6 months if you pass a test. Poor health insurance that costs more than it should. Moral is low in many of the stores due to fines imposed on the managers.

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.
