Pros

It's a job. You get to go home after work. They hire lots of minorities.

Cons

A Draconian work environment, in which employees are berated in front of other employees, and reward and punishment is handed out arbitrarily. Employees are treated as cattle, threatened regularly, and forced to attend an hour long weekly meeting even if it they have the day off.. Worse still, is the culture of racial discrimination. And I don't use that term lightly. If you are white, you have zero chance for advancement, and you have a huge bullseye on your back. And sooner or later they find a way to get rid of you. Same thing happens if you have been there long enough to make more than minimum wage . And forget overtime. If you work overtime, they just have you come in late another day or leave early.

Pros

NONE!!! This place just really makes my skin crawl and that has nothing to do with the insects in the break room!

Cons

This "christian company" will try to screw you over no matter how hard you work. I am a dedicated employee who goes above and beyond what's needed and what do I get in return? WRITTEN UP! I'm a cashier who was over in my register by a few bucks and I got written up?! Where is the fairness in that? No warning at all!! I get customer compliments every day and get no reward for it..BUT as soon as my register is over they try to make me look like some criminal! Also no benefits for part timers lol what a joke!

Pros

It is very rewarding working with the population that I worked with.

Cons

Poor communication. Although all positions in my department required a 4 year degree or better, employees were not treated with professional courtesy. Literally everyone in my department has either already left or is looking for a job- except one.
