Pros

Good Benifits for full time employees. Possible good changes in the future. I believe they are trying to improve their company.

Cons

Not enough employees to complete tasks. At times their is only one employee on duty. Its is impossible to complete all tasks with the payroll hours. Managers are required to work fourty nine hours per week but, to complete everything or try too you need to work sixty. Manager can only work six days per week so long before they look for other employment.

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.
