Pros

Health insurance, life insurance, paid time off after 6 months, co workers complain about there job which brings everyone down

Cons

Minimum wage, no job security, transfer whenever they want you to leave, no paid holiday, no training on the job, they aren't hiring at all right now because they are losing money, constantly worried about having a job the next morning, after my first 2 weeks there they fired 4 people and erased an entire job title, then people started transferring to other stores willingly and by force, which is what happened to me. I worked there over a month and I was transferred to a warehouse where I didn't feel comfortable working at. I wasn't even on the transfer list and 2 out of the 4 managers there didn't even know about the transfer or has any say in it. And now I'm looking for another job because 8.25 an hour isn't worth this mess.

Pros

Great impact on the community

Cons

Terrible salary and hourly pay rates. They claim they care about the community, but don't do anything for their own people to make sure they're taken care of and paid fairly.
