Pros

Most of the coworkers are easy to get along with and schedules are easily adjusted for things outside of work.

Cons

This is the part you want to read. If you like going to work every day to only have a write up in your face, then this is the place for you. The schedules are spread so thin that the management has no one to close with and as of late, no one to open with. Not to mention you are still held accountable for getting a work list done that includes 100% recovery within a 2 hour time frame. The POS systems suck, the safe at the front door is the most ridiculous thing if your office to count the money is at the back of the store, and the favorites/ attitude that you get from upper management is the worst. They can do no wrong. 3rd Key/ Lead Sales Full time? Expect 30 hours per week. I am ashamed to even put this company on my resume... I honestly can't think of anything to put as a pro other than the two things I put. Horrible hours, horrible pay, horrible experience. Period. This is not the place you want to work at unless you are at Store Manager or higher.

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.
