Pros

Talked about fishing and boating all day. Customers were friendly. 40% discount! Co-workers were enjoyable.

Cons

Paychecks were terrible. Worked part time and was often scheduled 39 hours, just enough to not pay me benefits.Management was overbearing. Expectations were way to high for the pay scale. No hope for moving up. Frequently understaffed. Lots of retiree's working there that are friendly but not up to date with product knowledge and move slow..

Pros

Good discount on in house brands

Cons

Toxic management runs rampant at most stores, multiple managers keep their jobs after saying racist or sexist things to both employees or customers. If you’re a good worker they expect you to do the work for your coworkers who are lazy / not doing their job and if you complain you’re the problem. Pay is a joke. Annual raises are never more than $0.20 a year, sometimes as low as $0.07.
