Pros

Interviews are fairly easy and you'll get a quick start date.

Cons

Primarily, they do not hire full time, so although they may choose to give you 40 hours per week, you won't qualify for any benefits until after a year of employment. Instead of offering competitive pay, they will low ball you and you'll have to fight to make more. They randomly cut hours for weeks at a time and blame it on corporate. You'll get mail offers for auto insurance and pet insurance but won't have medical, dental, vision, PTO, etc. until a year after employment. Stores are purposely understaffed and staff often work in very stressful conditions.

Pros

Every week I was excited to see what new challenge awaited me. Sometimes it wasn't so bad, and then some weeks it was overwhelming, but I did the best job I could, and everything usually turned out ok. It was a position that made me feel important, like I had a purpose.

Cons

The biggest was when the workload was too much for one person, and getting some help was not always an option. The biggest con was having to give up the position. I was only filling in for someone while she was on leave for surgery. Was supposed to only be for 3 months but I did it for 9 months and loved it ,ore than I ever thought I would.

Cons

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
