Pros

Compared to many other american company's, they seem to offer considerably more benefits, albeit only if you're full time and have worked with them for a certain amount of time.

Cons

The easiest department to get into is 'The Front End' and is widely regarded as one of the worst places to work in the company. Basic cashier and errand boy kind of jobs. The town I was working in had a shortage of workers, and a surplus of jobs available, and so we were largely overworked at the front end.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
