Pros

There isn't a single pro to working with this company. Don't let any of the fake good reviews fool you

Cons

Everyone above your position lies..get used to that fact. And I do mean everyone. Lie about pay Lie about work life balance Lie about training Lie about the store you're being put into Lie about expectations Lie about work reality with this company So to elaborate a little 1) pay will be changed from what you're offered in interview to what you are given. Watch the offer letter with new hire paperwork, they think you won't read it 2) 4am text messages are the norm... every day. There is no day off if you're salary even though there is supposed to be 3) supposed to receive 2 weeks training. That will not happen because they have so much turnover and so many open positions that they just throw you in and expect miracles 4) stores are supposed to be fully staffed and standards ready when you go in. That doesnt happen. My store had 6 ghosts in system that didnt work there to show staffed and was a blown up mess. Was given no help to fix it 5) expected to work by yourself many days and still accomplish all tasks. Can't happen if your the cashier all day. 6) they say they value employees and managers. But then you realize it's the biggest con in retail.

Pros

They are growing quickly...opportunities to advance

Cons

They don’t repair broken restrooms, lights in the parking lots, roof leaks. Safety and respect for employees are talked about, but they don’t walk the talk.

Pros

Pay and bonus opportunity are fair compared to market. company car.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance, mandatory six days a week. Vacation time well below average. Unrealistic expectations, organization seems to be more about money than the well being and care about REAL work environment. Blinders on with respect to upper leadership.
