Pros

Great opportunity to work with the public.

Cons

Hard work with ridiculously small payroll budgets. Staffing guidelines not enough to properly run stores. Cut throat senior management that cares nothing about employees. No matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish it is never enough. Can terminate for any reason even if the reports show conflicting data. Everyone is always setup for failure even if they say otherwise. Worked for company for 8 years and terminated for bogus reasons. Data presented during termination conflicts with all reports. Systems slow and outdated making hard to perform job effectively. However, still not excuse for failure to complete projects timely.

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.
