Pros

It wasnt the best job honestly but it was a good place to work if you like a fast paced environment. My boss was absolutely wonderful and she did the best she could with minimal power and control over staffing on a local store level

Cons

It was horrible in terms of staffing they could have done so much better instead of leaving to a high stress low empathy environment where we were bombarded by customers constantly and had to manage customer intake along with stocking

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.
