Pros

Great merchandise/prices, nice co-workers. Customers are mostly happy, so interaction is nice.

Cons

Very little training, but associates are still expected to meet (unknown) standards. Store management "leads" by yelling, belittling, and sarcastic put-downs. Poor managers think this will spur workers to try harder, but it leads to a stressful, hostile workplace. Add to that the highly physical nature of the job and minimum wage, and it's no wonder that the turnover is so high.

Pros

The salary increase from hourly associate to salaried management is awesome!

Cons

You will receive little to no true training other than the bare minimum required to run the building. Some still struggle with basic operational functions. Goals are set unrealistically with no support from upper management. And lastly, this billion dollar company cripples efficiency by refusing to invest in technology. Computer applications are stuck in the 1980s.

Pros

I loved the work, people I worked with and the merchandise. Lots of opportunities to move up if you're serious and motivated.

Cons

They definitely don't pay enough compared to all the responsibility I had as a full time coordinator and key carrier. I was responsible for closing the store as the only manager there, at least 4 nights a week. I had alarm codes, safe codes, ect. But was only getting paid $2 above minimum wage.
