Pros

My manager was the best!! I have grade school children,which means alot of school stuff,I was always able to go. When my eldest daughter passed away in 2010 I was able to take my time in going back to work,everyone was very supportive of me.

Cons

Complaints from customers about moving merchandise threw out the store.Other employees calling in and not getting in trouble when we knew they were fine. Basket coaching, and the company thinking everyone that works there is a thief when in fact the people I worked with were very honest and hard workers.

Pros

The work is good but there is too much of it at times. The company is growing and there is stability in your employment.

Cons

Pay is very low. There is no middle scale. The only place to even make a living is a managers position.

Pros

Several stores in my area that always need help. If ever I need extra cash, its easy to get to 40 hours by working in other stores. Plus you get compensated for gas when traveling to other stores.

Cons

The pay. Regardless of past experience, cashiers start at minimum wage, and management expects too much of us for only making 7$ an hour. Working register, you have to worry about your 'basket average', where we have to meet the store's average transaction, and if we don't so many days in a row per week, we'll get written up.
