Pros

They were very honest with me about how limited the hours were when I got hired (many other retail places will lie and say that they'll give you so many hours so that you accept the job and then they will not even give you half of what they promised). They actually give you a break and follow company policies/ state law at this location (again many other retail places will lie about/ not give you your breaks). They also scheduled two weeks ahead. Most of the rest of the management (besides the stock managers) seemed fine. The store was always behind and falling apart and turnover was high so there were often extra hours to pick up.

Cons

Stock managers were surprisingly rude/incompetent and do not appreciate hard work. There's actually a fair bit more heavy-lifting/ butt-busting than most other jobs that pay minimum wage. Stock anywhere is going to be fast paced, but to wake up at 3AM, bust your butt the entire time, get paid minimum wage, only get part-time hours each week, AND to have your bosses constantly treat you like dirt despite all of that. No thanks. If you're a hard worker do yourself a favor and work somewhere that either pays more or has decent management.

Pros

You might meet some lifelong friends! Long tenure if you are willing to give up everything to try to be a successful employee Good EAP program for short term intensive therapy…

Cons

Public criticism, condescending communication, inconsistent accountability, and fear-based management styles became increasingly common. Feedback often felt reactive rather than constructive, and many employees did not feel psychologically safe speaking openly about concerns. There was also a significant lack of consistency between leaders and stores. Expectations changed constantly, communication was often unclear, and favoritism sometimes impacted accountability and decision-making. Long-term employees who consistently stepped up during difficult periods often felt taken for granted rather than appreciated. Reporting to HR will get you no where. You will be gaslit if you choose to speak up.
