Pros

Laways busy and keeps you moving all day!

Cons

No work/ life base , alot to do with no hours given to stores , un fair expectaions due to this. Uper managemnt have a lack of knowledge of whats going on in the store nor do they seem to know the product. Very small window for advancement most come from outside the company .Poor training for new managers only a week to two weeks before getting a store and then your on your own. NO training for new hourly employees..

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.
