Pros

Health Insurance, and that's pretty much it. I genuinely have nothing else good to say about this company. I'm just typing to fulfill the minimum word requirement.

Cons

An uncaring company that consistently under-staffs, cuts hours at every opportunity, hires almost exclusively at the lowest possible part time level so they can cut back at any time yet expects you to work full time when it suits them, never fails to show just how little they care about you as an "associate", undermines the union at every turn, never backs up their employees

Pros

Almost livable wage if you can make it to journeyman status Union-mandated 20 hour week minimum Wonderful coworkers Benefits after 6 months

Cons

Management often uses intimidation to get people to do work outside job description Management is often lazy/disconnected from job they're managing and UNWILLING to learn or listen. Pay is barely enough to make ends meet. Takes SIX MONTHS for benefits to kick in. Stingy on OT, even if department is shorthanded Hard to move up if you don't kiss up, regardless of how hard you may work Will schedule 10 days in a row frequently Unrealistic expectations The rules often don't apply to everybody (favoritism)

Pros

Benefits are good if you even get enough hours to keep them. Pay is good one you are topped out, but then again its really only good if you get the hours for a decent paycheck.

Cons

Everything. Management is awful at pretty much any location. There is little to no appreciation. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much effort you put in, you will constantly be criticized. They don't want you talking at all and they constantly push onto us to have good customer service but then get mad at you for talking to customers... Managment for the most part are lazy. I understand they have orders and such from corporate, but they also have enough down time to be having long non work related convos on the sales floor with each other or other associates. The list goes on and on. I do not recommend working for this company. literally everyone is miserable. They switch management constantly and promote literally anyone anymore. This company doesn't follow its values that it promotes. They constantly cut hours. people are getting less than 20 hrs a week and there is definitely favoritism as well. This company makes record profits and the employees get nothing to show for it, just more hours taken away.
