Pros

quickly hired (red flag) and paid training (albeit limited and computer based)

Cons

Toxic coworkers and management, training was minimal for the scope and scale of the role. The computer training that lasted a day was generic and it did not easily translate to the store floor. When I was put on the store floor I shadowed someone for 1/2 a day and was then sent out on my own. A sort of "trial by fire". Which I could have worked with if the department manager hadn't pulled me aside not even one week into the role to be scold me for having subpar performance numbers. In order to be as efficient as they desire you have to memorize the layout of the store and where each category is placed, which is possible, just not within that short of a time frame with the limited amount of training or support they give you. Coworkers are a revolving door, they were constantly hiring people to make up for the people that were quitting. Some of the other employees were nice but some were constantly trying to pawn off their work onto you or continuing to pick up orders instead of processing pickups to help boos their metrics. Easily the worst employer and work environment I have ever been a part of. This company is rotten all the way around.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
