Pros

Very relaxed on when needing days off. Good for temporary work or someone needing only part time.

Cons

Because of stores being limited in hours all employees except management are limited to 29 hours. It made me sick when I found out I could qualify for state issued food stamps. No real training. I was shocked that the first three weeks I was there I heard nothing but how they beloved all employees were stealing from them. They waste so many company resources trying to catch employees stealing it's sad. I could go on and on. I am just thankful I only wasted 2 months before finding a full time job.

Low pay, high workload

Pros

Okay for a first job. You get paid weekly, and have some flexibility with hours.

Cons

Even after promotion to Manager on Duty, I only made $0.25 above minimum wage. Not enough time to accomplish all that corporate expects you to. Have to work almost every weekend.

Pros

place for entry level to move up then move out

Cons

Payroll is so low that it forces extreme workload and hours on the managers. This is their biggest downside and the reason you see stores that look like a nuclear holocaust. No real help for loss prevention manager assumes too many roles Benefits are skimpy pay is skimpy
