Cons

The pros listed above seem to vary store to store (I think I’m just very lucky in my store Admittedly, the managers do have some favoritism Some zone managers can be so slack and refuse to help customers and expect you to help multiple people at once Have heard of experiences of microagressions towards POC workers…
