Pros

It's a job if you needing one.

Cons

Would not recommend anyone to work here (unless desperate for a job) for too many reasons to list but here are a few... Place needs better management / supervision. Many workers compare this place to that similar to being in a prison type of work setting environment. Atmosphere - place usually is short staffed, it is hell, and OMG the stench! Work Schedule - You never know when you're going to get off work, many shifts are very long work hours and some weeks you work a few days others you work more (so save your money because you will definitely fall behind in paying your bills at home, many employees say they will apply for unemployment if their hours fall short). Employees - Many people are running around all over the place do what they want to do. Restrooms - downright horrid, over crowded, not sanitary, you can literally catch an std or something. Company - They don't care about their employees nor especially for mothers, not a place for mothers that have children because they use a point system at 13 points you're terminated. Ergonomics - You'll definitely experience severe pain, neck, back, legs, feet, hands, you name it! Salary - You will basically be living paycheck to paycheck, some weeks are 40 hour work weeks others are 20 hours or less etc. So you have to find a way to make your money stretch to make ends meet at home, barely able to sustain a living. Advancement and Education - There are very few opportunities for advancement and limited to getting any promotion, further training to advance limited, they don't train you to do much to further your future. Bonuses - They'll find any reason to not give you a bonus to save the company the money.

Pros

Well-known brands and many capable, hardworking employees. Compensation and benefits were generally competitive, and there is meaningful potential across the organization when teams are well-led.

Cons

My experience was significantly impacted by the management style of my direct supervisor. Communication was often inconsistent and at times passive aggressive, with a strong emphasis on criticism and limited recognition of work that met expectations. The leadership approach leaned heavily toward micromanagement, with frequent scrutiny of day-to-day work but minimal investment in coaching, training, or structured development. Employees were expected to meet evolving expectations without clear, consistent guidance or actionable support on how to improve. Feedback was often focused on what was wrong without a corresponding effort to provide tools, examples, or mentorship to help close gaps. This created an environment where expectations felt unclear, shifted frequently, and were difficult to reliably meet. Over my time on this team, there was also a notable pattern of turnover under the same manager, including multiple employees leaving during that period. This contributed to instability and reflected broader concerns around leadership effectiveness and retention. At times, the overall environment felt demoralizing, with low psychological safety and limited trust in the fairness or consistency of performance evaluation and advancement processes. There were also perceived inconsistencies in how opportunities and promotion pathways were applied across employees, contributing to concerns about fairness and transparency.
