Pros

Consistency and job security are high. You won’t be outright fired for most anything as long as you show up and don’t steal.

Cons

The culture is asphyxiating. There is constant pressure to meet changing standards that conflict with one another. Doing so is difficult with the lack of manpower as hours are cut across the store with skeleton crews barely holding things together.

Pros

Lots of benefits for those that will stay long term

Cons

No longer a family first company. Employees became numbers and the pressure on management just trickles down.
