Pros

Healthcare, PTO, and SOME decent people There are no other pros about this place. It's horrible to work at.

Cons

Managers don't know how to do their jobs. There is no training, you're just expected to know how to work. You get a crash course in folding and then that's it. There's no couple of weeks for training like most places do. You don't shadow anyone, supervisors and employees do everything, and managers are for the most part useless. Oh...and if someone calls out in your department, nobody is coming in their place.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
