Pros

Learning new processes( as you have to pretty much be able to run the store by yourself at all times, since they never schedule anyone with you), weekly paycheck, decent starting pay

Cons

Store managers can get away with leaving early every single day and calling you in to take their place. Store manager can make you close the store 6 out of 7 nights a week, sometimes even calling you in on your only night off to close just so she can go home instead. Store manager can retaliate against you for a call to corporate on them that YOU didn't even make.. so then you quit and try to make an alternative dispute ticket? They will make it take 3+ weeks to over a month before they even play phone tag with you and make it impossible to actually talk to someone. Still waiting, as my store manager marked me ineligible for rehire when she learned I quit her store and was in the process of getting hired at another location. Only district manager can help fix it, but of course he doesn't respond even though I kept communicating with him and another store manager throughout my struggles with the Manager/company. I worked 40+ hours trying to be a good employee but my narcissistic, self absorbed store manager ruined the whole experience/, environment for me.

I work with a great group of people. Always something to keep busy so the days fly by. Great community

Cons

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.
