Pros

The basic 30 minute lunch, 2- 15 minute breaks, "discounts" (that I seem to not have gotten any despite being signed up with MPERKS and having my phone # linked to it..).

Cons

Oh where do we start... 1. Upper management will enforce policy rules on team leaders but never talk to actual employees about infractions. 2. Training is non-existent, I was basically shown how to stock and put pallets in the right area and that's it. Everything else is learned when you get yelled at and "coached" for not doing something that you weren't trained to do. 3. Regional managers/Directors don't have a clue what's going on in the store. They think that employees aren't getting the job done because they aren't opening boxes correctly... No, it's because they are moving slow and don't care!! 4. Team leaders/managers will throw their workload onto you especially if you are in another department. 5. When they think you are a hard worker, be prepared to be taken advantage of. Our shift had 3 people quit in the same week and their workload was placed on us without any other people being hired and we were specifically told that despite the workload, hours will be cut. 6. They play favorites. I work with a new "team lead" who kisses up to the regional boss but when he is "working" he is on his phone facetiming and threatening people.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
