Pros

Flexible hours, raises based on hours worked, union, Department heads can be reasonable people 10% discount on some store brand items.

Cons

Management changes often and seams disorganized, little training offered for the job your going to do. Pay is slow to raise with only nickle and dime raises for the first four raises. you basically have to work all holidays. And the only day the store is closed is Christmas. Also a company that made $1.5 Billion can only give its employees a 10% discount on store brand items only.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
