Pros

If you like being in a stuffy outdated office 5 days per week like it's the 1990s this place is for you. HR just killed the company culture.

Cons

Only 2 weeks of paternal leave and 2 months of maternal leave Only 2 weeks of PTO which is absolutely insane to me Senior Directors choose to not follow the return to office policy. This place is full of lifers who want to sit around, do nothing, and get a break during the day from their families. This is the prime example of a dying zombie company.

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.
