Pros

Literally nothing. I wish I was embellishing. If you’re lucky your district will be decent individuals who dont gossip about one another 24/7. Its like a totem pole, employees are on the bottom, then you, your DM, the RM, etc, etc. At the top two you have your CEO and then investors. Now imagine the investors are birds and they just constantly crap down the totem pole where it inevitably collects at the bottom.

Cons

Corporate cares nothing about you or your employees. As long as they can push more freight then you’re store can handle and you never close theyre happy. Pay is horrific, hours basically constructed so your salary breaks down to $3 or less than what they say. A salary that breaks down to $21 an hour after 40 hours would be $17.50 when working the required 48 hours. You’re more likely to end up working 50-60 as they dont give you enough weekly hours for employees nor pay their employees enough. You get 20 hours of PTO. Benefits suck.

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.
