Pros

I worked there for almost 13 years. They kinda reel people in with the bonus payouts and bragging about the "open door policy". I have to say that the bonus for management is exceptional. There are store managers that care about their people as well. If you are lucky you will be in one of those stores!

Cons

The insurance is great but not affordable. The bigger the company gets the more greedy they are. This is true with all companies but it speaks loudly to hourly department managers when upper management is flown to the Bahamas for 3 days, yet we are held to strict budgets with zero OT under any circumstance. They claim that customers are number one but they definitely have a dog and pony show that is way more important to them any time than a customers perspective. The biggest fear is a complaint! As long as they don't leave the store, it's swept under the rug. When they call the 1-800 number it becomes important. I am sure that ANYONE reading this is shaking their head in agreement.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
