Pros

Great merchandise/prices, nice co-workers. Customers are mostly happy, so interaction is nice.

Cons

Very little training, but associates are still expected to meet (unknown) standards. Store management "leads" by yelling, belittling, and sarcastic put-downs. Poor managers think this will spur workers to try harder, but it leads to a stressful, hostile workplace. Add to that the highly physical nature of the job and minimum wage, and it's no wonder that the turnover is so high.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
