Pros

Opportunities are endless, they provide the ability to grow and learn all facets of the business. The culture is what makes this company different than so many other big corporations. You are really able to control your own career growth if you are not afraid to work hard and you have the opportunity to be creative and suggest ways of improving the business. I have my dream job that i didn't even know was possible here but through hard work and great team results my leaders had faith in me and gave me the chance to keep improving the organization.

Cons

We really are a low cost operator and are very focused on saving the customer money and serving others. This does impact us but because we truly care about each other we still have fun! At times we all have a larger work load than some other corporations. This amount of work is for everyone within the organization- everyone works really hard. The Pro is that the training and growth you receive here is the most important. "Best career decision I made!"

Pros

Good job for someone starting to get a job

Cons

Terrible oppurtunities for anyone actually trying to move forward. Boss literally had a stroke from this job and then was forgotten about.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
