Pros

Good pay, decent hours, good benefits,

Cons

They don’t do raises except for once a year, they don’t promote, if you want to grow you have to beg but even then they won’t help, and god forbid your coworker becomes aggressive with you because management will take the side of the aggressor and will actively blame you for the stores problems. Just don’t have any mental disabilities because from personal experience, they’ll still blame you

Pros

You learn a lot of skills because they make you do multiple people’s jobs. Product is really fun and interesting to work on.

Cons

The review system is rigged to only give “meets expectations” to nearly every employee. This is consistently used as an excuse to not give raises or internal promotions. I found out that many new employees in the same position were making much more than me despite my years of experience that had me training even new managers in positions above me.
