Pros

Great co-workers, free drinks and meal discounts. Free prizes/food for all employees during celebration days. The medical/dental/401k offered are some of the best plans from any employer, but are only available to employees who work 30+ hours.

Cons

Very low pay/minimum wage, but with the expectation for full coverage work. Typical retail schedules to close at night, then open the next morning or work 6-7 days in a row with no days off. I brought multiple concerns to management about safety and effectiveness processes. Was told thanks for the heads up but nothing was ever changed. Management was not accommodating to my or my co-worker's disabilities and would tell us to just suck it up and try to keep working. This was after all employees attended classes on inclusivity.
