Pros

fellow employees where great to work with, the job itself was o.k. discount is good but they don't pay you enough to even have money to spend there.

Cons

They claim to pay 50-100% better than industry average when in turn they pay just above minimum wage. They say they want to get the work of 3 people out of you, but treat you inhumanly. Hours are never the same one week you can work 3 hours the next 20 only when it suits their needs, they say they are flexible but are not and you can never depend on a regular pay check from week to week. The co claims to care about environment but when merchandising they throw away tons of empty boxes and bubble wrap will not let employees even take one box would they would rather trow it out because they sell boxes and bubble wrap and who cares about the employee or mother earth they need to make that extra buck. if working at register they hound you to get pop customers everyday even if there are days when either everyone coming through has one or totally refuses, also your lucky if you can get someone to cover to make it to washroom. you can only get a managers position if your friend with one, does not matter how qualified you are or how long you work for them. They should be in the worst companies to work for.

Pros

Decent Pay. Starts at 11/hr. You will meet a lot of very nice people. Flexible schedule. General Store manager is great!

Cons

You are expected to go above and beyond as an employee. However, there is little room to grow when it comes it advancement in the company or in pay. Working for the Merchandise Processing team is a very physical task and you are expected to work at a very high pace that may not be suitable for someone that is not in shape or of younger age.
