Pros

Interviews are fairly easy and you'll get a quick start date.

Cons

Primarily, they do not hire full time, so although they may choose to give you 40 hours per week, you won't qualify for any benefits until after a year of employment. Instead of offering competitive pay, they will low ball you and you'll have to fight to make more. They randomly cut hours for weeks at a time and blame it on corporate. You'll get mail offers for auto insurance and pet insurance but won't have medical, dental, vision, PTO, etc. until a year after employment. Stores are purposely understaffed and staff often work in very stressful conditions.

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
