Pros

They paid weekly, a few of the managers were nice about small problems. Co-workers are all pretty great.

Cons

The management was in shambles, constant turnover even at the store manager level. The store was also in dire need of repairs, every time it rained we all had to scramble to fill grocery carts with garbage back and place them under leaks.
