Pros

Co-workers are interesting people, and mostly motivated to get job done. Wages are OK for entry level retail in this region. Store is clean, safety is honored. Most customers are civil; many are way above average.

Cons

Don't seem to understand why people leave - keep insisting it's a transient area, but there are many many people in need of permanent jobs here who can't get hired here because they need more than 15 hours a week, and they need fixed schedules. They pay for parking, but nothing for those dependent on public transit - fix this for fairness sake. They don't recycle. They bale large cardboard, but trash plastic and small boxes. Won't even allow employees to take home bubble wrap and boxes that end up in landfill. Seem ignorant of and uninterested in other ecological concerns they could address in individual stores - and be seen as leaders. The everyone thrives meme is over-rated and becoming out-dated.
