Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work. if you're in a good area the regulars customers are great. Good employee incentives ie: coupons, discounts.

Cons

They pay barely over minimum wage so finding good employees is hard. Cutting payroll towards the end of the quarter makes it nearly impossible to run a thriving store. Too much emphasis on the MAG and not on individual store needs.

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.
