Pros

Non management Coworkers are nice, you don't need a gym membership due to all of the walking and lifting you do daily, and sometimes they put free snacks in the break room.

Cons

The pay is awful for the amount of work you have to do. You go home feeling exhausted everyday. As a full-time associate (coordinator), you manage pretty much half of the store while being micromanaged and harassed by a store manager all day. I don't even make $15 an hour and have the responsibilities of someone who would make $5-$10 more per hour elsewhere. We'll have 3 people scheduled to process a 1500 piece truck, and they're expected to unload and have everything ready for the shelves in 5 hours. There's no communication between members of management, so you constantly get conflicting info. And forget about having a life outside of work, your schedule can change with no warning except an alert from the schedule app

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
