Pros

Fantastic job security because no one wants to work here, for many, many very good reasons.

Cons

Almost everything else. The company has zero consistency, and does not appear to be serious about improving anything at all. At this point it’s more of a ponzi scheme. Their same-store year-over-year growth is around 1%, because when you only build in small towns that do not grow in population, your stores’ customer base never increases, but to attract investment you must show growth. This is why they keep building new stores. So they need the investment to build stores, but they need to build stores to show growth to attract investment. All this means is this company is a “growth” company and not a “retail” company, meaning they do not care about their stores at all beyond the first year, which means they do not care about their employees’ wellbeing at all, so much so that they treat employees as an expense they’d rather not have.

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.
