Pros

Laid back work environment, great people, no quotas, benefits after a few months

Cons

No cost of living increases, no merit increases....I knew people that had been there 3 or 4 years and were still making $8. This was in 2019. That's not a living wage. We were a profit center for the company but they did not share the wealth. I am sure that the manager got bonuses but we sure did not. They were also quick lecture you if a customer sent in a question about an item you listed or god forbid an item that sold and arrived different than you described it.

Pros

Flexible hours and somewhat relaxed working environment. No hard manual labor, nothing requiring brute strength or advanced intelligence and decent wages for the amount of work plus they hire felons and don't really do background checks or drug tests. Extremely easy to get a job there....the only thing they check and won't hire is sex offenders.

Cons

Usually part-time hours and only starts at$10.00/hr, jobs can be monotonous and boring, customer base is lower income/poverty level so you have to deal with some really trashy, low rent people, drug addicts and the homeless constantly. The management is usually inexperienced and uneducated, they promote from within the company so any high school dropout or drug addict can get a job there and within a few months be promoted to manager and then be in charge of the whole store. High turnover due to juvenile and vindictive behavior by management as well as favoritism, racism, discrimination and retaliation if that behavior is reported.
