Pros

with it being a small company you get to know the other employees better and form a better relationship with them. Everything was very routine so there weren't alot of unexpected surprises day to day. At the very least, you got your breaks on time and your day off was your day off. Doing your specific job alone meant you knew the job was going to be done right and you could schedule the way you wanted to do things your own was according to what suited you best personally. You were allowed to leave on lunch break which some companies do not allow.

Cons

Very low pay based on amount of work done. I did alot of heavy lifting and did the whole job with no help. I was hired and trained to eventually replace 2 full time and several part time associates and did it for less pay. Shortly after I started I realized I was alone in doing the job and found it very difficult to stay caught up and do my job effectively. I received very little pay, only a little more than a cashier who had a simple joob requiring little effort. Management just assumed I could handle it and took no advice from store manager.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
