Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Pay for upper management is decent/comparable for the area. The employees are kind of like a dysfunctional family, which I enjoy. The schedule is super flexible which is the main reason I’ve stayed. And the job itself is easy.

Cons

Shoplifters are dangerous and run rampant. Our hands are tied as far as they’re concerned. That’s a corporate/not store level problem. Seniority/favoritism matters the most as far as scheduling and job advancement goes. Base pay for lower level associates is not good and we get a lot of low quality candidates.
