Pros

- Discount card for 5% for Coles, Kmart, etc stacks up especially with weekly grocery shopping.

Cons

- A specific manager (responsible for shifts) are biased and will give shifts to people she likes, and younger people as they pay less.

Pros

Quick and easy hiring process; friendly co-workers

Cons

I literally stepped in poop on the sales floor inside the store. Store didn't have enough money to adequately staff shifts, so it was one person per half of the store.

Pros

If there was any they would go here.

Cons

When they hired me in 2010 they no longer offered raises at the 90 day mark. I only got one raise there regardless of my performance and that was because federal minimum wage went up. I started out with 20+ hours a week by the time they let me go (the store closed) I was down to 12. I did not get any vacation because I didn't work enough hours. Jeez I wonder why? They purposefully underemployed the part time employees so that only management got vacations. They promoted only butt kissers and ended up firing them for theft of merchandise. It is a terrible company to work for. Don't even bother to work there. No raises. no vacations and no respect. 5 years and nothing. They didn't even tell me that the store was closing. I found out from another employee.
