      Better than no job. That's about it.

      Pros

      Get paid every week. Work day usually moves fast because you are almost always busy. Most of my coworkers and customers are very nice.

      Cons

      Cashiers get minimum wage, leads $1 above that, assistant managers a little above that. Pay is very low and expectations are high, often unrealistic. In my case the DM does not seem to care how things are done and allows management to get away with murder. Your hours will get cut repeatedly, you may have 35 one week and 20 the next. I currently work 6 days a week at 3 different stores to get 35 hours. 32 hours is considered full time unless you're a store manager.

      Don't Let the "Best Place to Work" Award Fool You!

      Pros

      Good environment depending on your department and manager. Some managers are good there, others are not. Lot's of activities to help break the work day monotony.

      Cons

      The company values mean nothing depending on your department. There is lots of company politics, lying, cheating and playing games with the livelihood of the employees. They are also very reluctant to promote minorities into upper levels of management. While they attempt to promote inclusion, the true culture is no inclusive at all.
