Pros

Overtime, flexible schedule, great pay

Cons

Most the time upper management is more concerned about budget and pushing numbers than they are of staff. I would know because I was there. It can turn into a cult like mentality of "we are family" when in reality everyone is talking absolute trash about everybody else. District and regional managers will praise in public while in private absolutely demolishing a subject over the simplest "your floors aren't as clean as this other stores" most upper management is out of touch with their employees and claims to understand dilemmas while giving no other advice than "hire more people" but provides no higher budget to do so. They constantly preach a work life budget but blame managers for failures of stores when they take a one week vacation when they're allowed two. District managers will find any way to blame managers of their stores for lack of support while not providing any support or offering any way to fix the situation, just a "youre the manager figure it out" had a DM blame me personally when an employee found a better job and said it was all my fault and that i was the cause of the downfall of the company. They also do not care about their live animals and continually save face by saying just throw the dead chicks in the trash but make sure the public is not aware. Seen multiple cover ups. Including one where a reciever cut off the leg of a duck and then let another employee take the fall because the reciever was a "good ol boy" and deserved a second chance gaining him a promotion while putting the other employee on a black list. They are also full of flat earthers which should tell you a lot. They got to a yearly meeting in Nashville where they pat eachother on the back and cheat on their spouses but act pompous saying how great they are while playing inflatable games as their stores fall apart and ask for support but are told, "don't worry more MPOS are coming." They promote bad behavior by allowing people to abuse the tardiness system. Example being of a team lead who clearly stole on camera but then claimed he was an alcoholic and we paid him 3 months leave. They are highly misogynistic and the only people of color that are hired are those they feel forced to because their metrics tell them they're not meeting diversity credentials. If all you care about is money and being part time this is a great place to work, but if you want to move up beware because it is a dark and dangerous place mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Pros

They don't drug test because they don't have the funds to pay for it

Cons

Stores are consistently short staffed but cannot hire due to payroll restrictions. Managers often have 1 or 2 employees to run the entire store. Theft is rampant, including customers and employees. Wages are at the bottom end of retail work, several dollars below the local living wage, raises are less than inflation, and because of that new hires make more than employees who have been there for years. Naturally, this leads to high turnover and a high percentage of fresh untrained employees. SOP's are hidden, outdated, and convoluted so everybody just wings it with no accountability.
