Pros

Benefits, bonuses, and ability to make your own schedule if you’re a manager.

Cons

Favoritism in leadership, judgement on how you make your schedule and what days off you have. You’re also questioned on why you’re taking your vacation time. Must work on weekends to keep up with the business. Leadership can also micromanage you depending on what store you work at. You may be able to take some holidays off, but it is incredibly frowned upon. Be ready to be thinking about work all the time and be expected to keep up with what’s going on at the store even on your days off. Grocery, General Merchandise, and now curbside are the departments focused on by leadership. If you don’t manage or work in those departments, be ready to be ignored if you have a problem in your department. You are not given a company phone or a free phone plan. The company asks you to download multiple apps to keep up with business and to keep up with these apps on your days off. If you work in a large store, it’s hard to be able to get to know other managers. Leadership does not aid in helping managers bond and get to know each other. Leadership also encourages a culture of favoritism in the store and doesn’t give as much attention to smaller departments.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
