Pros

Good wage, nice product to work with

Cons

I was at a store for six years as a manager and it was the worst company I have ever worked for. Unfortunately due to the fact that the pay is good I was stuck there! No work life balance, terrible training, favouritism and bullying are rife. Unprofessional managers, terrible working practices. No structure. I worked in several different stores and never received even basic Health and Safety training! Managers have favourites and get away with speaking to other staff like they are something they've stepped in. Expectations are far too high, managers are expected to work 50 - 60 hours a week and more for no extra pay or even a thank you. Regionals are just as bad providing no support to those that they don't like. If your face doesn't fit, prepare to get pushed out of the door!

Pros

The coworkers are the best. This is for the North Star location

Cons

Management. There is clearly favoritism. They don't want to help, they will yell at you and ask why aren't you moving fast enough. The GM doesn't do anything. Her only job is to "talk to the higher ups." She will yell at you if you speak Spanish and say English only. If you ever had an interview here some of you were judge by the way you looked. Quote from one of the managers "I didn't like the way they looked." Also, it's a problem when you talk to your coworkers when it slow.
