Pros
The store I worked at was extremely flexible with my hours. Often letting my call offs/lates slide due to my demanding main job. Coworkers are either teens or older individuals and usually good/fun people to work with. All the managers I encountered were very nice and helpful if you were doing your job.
Cons
The new coorperate entity is doing whatever they can to maximize profit. (as they should its a business) However that should not come at the cost of employee benefits. Pay is atrocious and the raises are terrible. Turnover rates are on par with Walmart.
Advice to Management
Store level management needs to reiterate store level employee complaints about the coorperate side to the coorperate level.

Pay is less than fast food, despite store averages of 10 million in sales. They want shelf stockers not sales people.
