Not a bad experience, but often challenging when trying to meet company expectations with high turnover & understaffing.

Pros

Compensation good based on total hours worked and consistent overtime allotted on a weekly basis. You're off on Sundays, and have a day off during the week. Strong company where you can count on having a job as long as your work hard and are consistent. Advancement opportunities are given to those are interested and shown capable.

Cons

Good you are off on Sundays, but consistently (required) work on Saturdays. Weekends off are few unless on vacation. Work hours during the week require the whole day starting as early 8am and as late as 9pm. Workload is demanding but is made worse due to lack of small store staff and responsibilities being handle by all coworkers versus being solely job-specific .
