Pros

Wonderful customers, excellent discount & great products.

Cons

Too many to list. Poor corporate management, poor treatment of employees, less than acceptable working conditions, non-adherence to state & federal laws regarding breaks, lunches & time worked, poor training..... etc. etc. etc. I should have remained as a customer instead of going to work here.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
