Pros

Great management at the store level Diverse workers of all ages and ethnicities I enjoy my regular customers Always something to do The company provides snacks and has lots of morale-boosting activities

Cons

Lots of customers to serve and freight to be run but not enough help to do the work. High turnover rate Low pay Too much emphasis placed upon selling rewards credit card. Meeting goal is never good enough because they always expect more. All management talks about in the headset all day is obtaining cards and forms personal opinions of employees based on their ability to get cards.

Pros

At the time was a decent group of 4+ year people

Cons

Management was good, then it changed and it all fell through. As of 2025 I'm not sure but if the management is still the same it probably hasn't changed.
