Pros

My hire on process was very fast and simple. Communication with associates was smooth. Opportunities to move up were fairly easy to obtain.

Cons

Training was nonexistent. I had two days of training and I had no retail experience. You learn as you go. Communication with manager is difficult at times. You see them only during shift change. You can request days off on the app and it is over looked. Schedule is subject to change at any point and if you aren’t constantly checking the app you can miss a shift and get called from managers asking where you’re at. They say they need an availability form filled out but it’s pointless cause if you want full time hours you need to have open availability. And if you don’t have open availability you are considered unreliable. Workload is manageable if you have a good team, but turnover rate is high so it’s always hard to find a solid team.

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.
