Pros

sometimes its slow, but that's barely a pro. Management can be nice sometimes. freight is decent

Cons

Everything was chaos. Stocking meant random pallets and impossible time quotas, with little training. Cashiering was worse, understaffed and stressful. The registers are literally from the 1980s, they break down all the time, management doesn't know how to work them and have to rely on leads. Management cared about speed, not people. They also can be rude, condescending, and unforgiving, if you aren't stocking to the speed they expect. Also extremely annoying and predatory regarding Credit Cards.
