Pros

Was able to strengthen skills in order to move to a better future. Pay, benefits was okay.

Cons

Management and high up people tend to think they run everything and look and talk down to workers. Too much finger pointing and throwing people under the bus. No on takes responsibility for their actions unless it is something good. Promotions are made not by experience or hard work but who you go to lunch with and kiss up too.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
