Pros

Company is growing at a rapid rate.

Cons

Work life balance, minimum 6 day work week, labor model is poor, safety for employees, facility standards and maintenance not kept up, transportation and logistics issues, single coverage, pay isn’t structured for hourly employees to match up with tier complexity, too many tasks no simplification within daily operations, model store is a joke when the operating model standard is staffed with 6 employees, turn over is awful, realistic budgeting is non existent, corporate visits are dog and pony shows, you are encouraged to work around the clock and blow extreme labor

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.
