Pros

Always hiring, easy to get "a job".

Cons

Pay is barely above minimum wage. The "raises" are insulting (.12 to .18 cents per hour after a YEAR!). General manager is vindictive and vengeful if you step out of line or just personally tick him off. A lot of ex-Walmart cut-outs the coudn't make the grade at Walmart working as management here. Turnover rate extremely high- about 75% in the 6 months I've been here. Stores are horribly understaffed- they want to see how much blood they can squeeze from as few employees as possible and still make a fat, greasy profit! Employees are totally expendable- massive "lay-offs" after Christmas (fired) to cut costs. But, yet the corporate shirts fly to the individual stores in a helicopter that lands out in the parking lot like some third-word strongman trying to impress the little people. The place is dirty and dusty- you freeze in the winter and sweat in the summer. Live-video security spies on you all day long from the corporate bunker and calls your manager if your shirt isn't tucked-in! There is absolutly NO feeling of "investment" working here- it is just a part-time, crappy job until you find something (ANYTHING!) better. I had a great attitude when I started- now, I hate having to come into this place. You WILL learn to HATE Rural King if you work here.
