Pros

Good for part time work. Fairly flexible schedules as long as you are willing to work weekends.

Cons

Management is disrespectful towards employees. Managers are not highly trained or good leaders. Open door policies are ineffective and intimidation and retaliation are a real problem. Seems to be too many "politics" at store level.

Pros

Great possibilities for the ambitious. Advancement is possible in the stores , market and company.

Cons

Regional, Market and Upper store managers focus on negative. You will seldom hear "good job" or thank you.

Pros

The place is good for the short run, either working for the first time or just earning a couple bucks. Some of the staff is friendly, you get somewhat of a choice (if the position is available) of where you would like to work. Its one of the very few employers that are still hiring tons during the recession. Its an alright place to work for in the short-run... three to five months.

Cons

In addition to very high turnover, management has very poor leadership skills. They do not care about the employee, just the fact that they are earning the store money. Their don't communicate with each other amongst the Managers, which means you could end up doing the same job three or four times. They don't care what you have going on at the moment, they will want you to do extra jobs that will take up 90% of your work time and expect your area to be 100% perfect. They put down the veteran employees to try to get them to leave so they can replace them with newer employees at a lower wage. They have a poor evaluation system; you have to evaluate yourself, and they do not take that into consideration when they to the actual evaluation. They have very bad scheduling, they could have four people on the back wall one night and one the next. If you can work the entire back wall by yourself one night, expect to do it again and again in the many shifts to come. The managers are only their to justify their existence, they do not care about the lower people they step on to achieve their successes.
