Pros

Guaranteed yearly raises. Work as a team with co-workers.

Cons

Management is more concerned with being friends. If you aren't a MOD you're at the bottom. Looked down upon, no respect or gratitude. Not an equal opportunity workplace as it should be.

Pros

Competative pay for store managers. Endless potential for advancement. stable growth even in a recession they are growing as a company

Cons

not enough payroll, managers work way too many hours. Sixty plus hours a week during non holiday months. District mangers take credit for your success andblame you for failures that are caused by them.

Pros

The actual work is not hard Some coworkers are okay Some customers are okay Weekly pay Easy to get hired

Cons

I was hired right after applying, so I never had an interview to ask questions about the job. I'm a college student and didn't realize the shifts are 7 hours long. All other students my age work 4 hour shifts at their jobs and 7 hours there feels like forever. Many customers are very difficult and rude. My manager hardly talks to me, and we are the only ones working. It's a lot of work for one employee to do: running the register, straightening shelves and restocking. There's also no kind of employee discount. The pay is minimum wage. I don't feel appreciated. I always work nights, too.
