Pros

Trying to develop teams to grow. Giving people a chance to shine in their roles. A lot of these folks live in poverty so development can assist life changes to better themselves to move onto another employer.

Cons

To much work for the store level staff to please upper management.The Store Manager gets all the wage an still is below what other companies pay. The other staff get crumbs and are not motivated in a lot of cases to grow because it is not really possible.

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.
