Pros

The people at the corporate office are great. Everyone is trying to do their best on a very lean staff.

Cons

New CEO has come in and taken away all of the fun, engaging activities and changed operating priorities without communicating the change. The company seems to be shifting away from "Serving Others" and only focused on how much money the company is making. Work life balance is awful; too much work and not enough people. Reducing in force has only made it worse. Opportunities for growth are limited for those with long tenure. It seems that only newer employees are given opportunities to move to new positions and grow with the company.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
