Pros

Good training, company expectations clearly specified. They have a very good focus on employee safety and health.

Cons

Point-of-sale systems malfunction several times weekly. Ad prices not loaded into computers. Gutless, browbeating upper management. Unresponsive human resources department.

Pros

The pros, well there really are none other than gaining experience through trail and error

Cons

barely any training, put you out there by yourself after a day or two. Also boss was very strict and management talked bad about other when they wasn't around

Pros

I met a couple other part timers there that I became friends with outside of work

Cons

- low pay - disgruntled management that hated their jobs, and took it out on associates - pushing carts in the snow - expected to do the job of 5 employees for minimum wage - I would have to unload trucks, put out merchandise, push carts, and generally run around like a chicken without a head, while cute 15 year old cashiers got to just stand around and do zero work. And they made the same per hour as me.
