Pros

401k,good insurance, discount, the little get togethers where we eat

Cons

Unfair management. We the employees are the face of the company, yet management get the bonuses and good pay raises. Lack of communication. How u expect to have a good store when management can't even come together. Lack of care for employees. I am scheduled to close 4 to 5 days out of a week. I ride the bus. On Sundays the bus drop Me off 2 miles from the store yet they still want Me to come walking in the heat or cold to work. ONE time I Had to walk 13 miles (4hrs) from work cause no ONE couldn't take Me home. I called in the next day cause there was no way I was getting up at 4:30a to b there at 7. Then I ended up in the hospital with servere dehydration and high blood sugar. Not once did anyone from management called to see how I was doing. Yet they knew I was a diabetic and couldn't b out in the heat. I come back and ask for Sundays off and they say the store needs someone on Sunday but yet again I just got out of the hospital twice for being out in the heat. The payraises are a joke. Whats 25 cents? No bonuses for associates. How fair is it we do all the work and all we might get is a stupid 10dollar gift card. The turnover rate is the worst I ever seen.

Pros

Requesting time off is very easy and most of the time accepted.

Cons

In store 49, the air conditioner is never functioning. It sucks to be there in general, People are very unprofessional and inconsiderate. Most of the Managers have favorites and are not willing to work with you just make up lies to get you out of their face.

Pros

The discount is fair. Co workers are nice

Cons

They offer you no training, you start and they just throw you to the wolfs . Pay isnt worth the amount of work you do, point system is a good idea that was poorly executed
