Pros

There are good people at the company, and it's consistent and stable. Flex scheduling makes it possible to manage life to some small degree, though it's not as good as it was when the company was work from home.

Cons

Company operates on a lean, skeleton crew ideology. There is never proactive staffing for growing business needs. The company has refused to pay bonuses for 2 years despite record breaking profits of over 1 billion. The company does not make cost of living increases, and annual pay raises are arbitrarily assigned and can be as low as .5%, or refused entirely. The company participates in union busting efforts and recently forced a mandatory return to office despite the fact that nearly all corporate employees had been WFH for 5 years. When I started at the company, their salaries and benefits were competitive in the market, but they have failed to keep up with cost of living. They also have recently begun "cost saving" layoffs, despite being on track for over $1 billion in profits.

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.
