Pros

Freedom of interacting with customers and no under the almighty magnifying glass. Salary was within normal ranges for the position

Cons

I was drafted from a retail company with much higher standards by a regional, I was the thought of very highly by many and asked to be a DM many times. Had an accident at work have 7 bulged disks and worked under those conditions and meds for 7 years. Then one new DM comes in with a history of abuse, well, guess who won? Worked out of the system, I heard that he never knew I was hurt. REALLY?? Did what my regional wanted me to accomplish. Just a number, a liability.

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.
