Pros

You get paid every week, great co-workers, mostly friendly customers.

Cons

You have to kiss ass to get anything accomplished the right way, managers will lie on their employees to get them fired if they think that their job is in jeapordy, and upper management will not listen to anything that you have to say if the manger gets to them first on any situation.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
