Pros

- team was fun to work with

Cons

- people there lack ambition - management does not cater to diversity hires, especially to muslim employees. - expect them to give LITTLE benefits because they’re following MOM law only to the bare minimum. First year starting you get only 10 days AL, which you don’t get it straight away, you earn as you go. So working X amount of days, you get 1 day. If you expect to go on a long holiday after probation, be expected to use unpaid leave instead.

Pros

Pay wasn't too terribly bad, make around $14 an hr. Management can be hit or miss depending on who you get, colleagues will likely be early 20's if you're the same age

Cons

My location had lower hours Hard to move up, only one other position which was keyholder/assistant manager

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
