Pros

The pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Constant fear of corporate visits and audits keeps everyone on edge. Store management passes these on to everyone else. Threats of write-ups on a daily basis. So much so that good people lose their initiative. Do as I say and don't think on your own mentality. Corporate and upper management treat the stores as their personal pantries. They force you to carry products that only they buy and then come down on you when your waste is high. Have also seen several people lied to and made promises that never came true by corporate. Not many happy people in the stores. Changes need to be made.

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.
