Pros

Stocking work was straightforward and enjoyable. First manager was supportive, respectful, and gave positive feedback. Job can be manageable with proper expectations and structure. Coworkers were generally fine to work with.

Cons

Management after the first manager left was unsupportive and dismissive. Constantly expected to do multiple people’s jobs at once. No consideration for employees who work best focusing on one task at a time. Communication issues and lack of appreciation for good work. When I explained that I am autistic and have anxiety, accommodations or understanding were not provided. Repeatedly pushed beyond reasonable limits, which created unnecessary stress.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
