Pros

Atleast you have a job in this economy, but do not not expect to move up anytime soon. They under pay you so you have to remain on government assistance. The pay is not competitive at all for all the labor you will endure. Better off as just a second source of income. Items are too heavy to lift during checkout, it is unnecessary. Ladies invest in a good backbrace if you ever want to bare children.

Cons

You work every single weekend! Not an exaggeration. Doesn't matter if you want to go to the beach during the summer, if you have a wedding to attend, or if it is your birthday...you will be on that schedule. You always have to cram their crappy plus memberships down customers throat even if they said no the day before. Do yourself a favor and apply at Costco instead. Atleast the BS will match the pay!

Pros

Good management. Balanced work-play culture environment.

Cons

Hours often change weekly. You may be required to work weekends, late evenings, and major holidays when the store is busiest.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
