Pros

Flexible hours if your dept. manager likes you. Pay is not up to par for Portland for same jobs.

Cons

Store director needs to keep derogatory statements about employees private and to "themselves", not discussing this with on the floor associates. Screaming and yelling at employees on the floor in front of customers and saying that employees are worthless. Wow. What an example this person sets. Taking away hours, less people to do the job: if a dept. looses an employee, others have to pick up the job with less time and absolutely NO OVERTIME or one gets a reprimand with possible disciplinary actions (and this includes a minute overtime). Shortage of product is getting out of hand, cannot order product now unless it is completely out. Customer dissatisfaction and they won't come back. Always having to hunt down people to cover breaks and lunch when they are RIGHTS fought for by the union. Working without a contract for almost 2 years. Management treats lower employees like trash.

Pros

I would say the most important Pros is benefits for all employees and employee's discount.

Cons

Even though it says "flexible hours", it is not really flexible. The pay is not fair. Cashiers in non-food departments get less pay than cashiers in front-end doing the same job. The management is different by the store as well as the work environment and culture.
