Pros

The discounts employees get are decent at times but you really have to find a good time to buy. The best time to get electronics/home/apparel is when their is a tier coupon ($10 off $50, $20 off $100, and $30 off $150). It's more high-class than Wal-Mart as far as employees go. Decent medical.

Cons

There are some associates that live to work and some who work to live. There are few associates that share the best of both worlds. Some associates are slackers and some are hard-asses... if you are in management you are usually both. The old saying is "sh*t rolls down hill" and this is certainly the case for what position you hold at this retailer. Their is a pay scale cap on the positions at the store so unless you get into grocery or cashiering with the union don't expect to make anymore than $13/hr without getting into management.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
