Pros

The pay is okayish. They give a lot of free products to try.

Cons

-Too many managers and corporate jobs, yet the hours keep shrinking. They tell us the more we sale the more hours, but where are they? They have a program that takes away hours from the important laborers that deal directly with the customers yet I have 4 managers and there are tons of corporate people paid to come and criticize things they don't like about the store. -No one from DRO's, to Buyers, to Leaders, to Managers are on the same page. They are all rolling out programs and dont realize we have like a hundred from everyone else going on. During our store walks our DRO has us do things against the programs rolled out. He is grocery biased against the GM Drug side. -CID is taking away hours to make us do more as one person for what though? I though our slogan was "because people matter." The job has become extremely stressful because there is too much pressure on the full timers since the part timers are getting cut. There's alot of unrealistic expectations and programs to keep up with. IMI, ORT, WGO, MSI, MSL, Ads, Etc.....and thats for a regular non manager.

Pros

Flexible hours, work with you school schedule, opportunity to get benefits even as a part time employee, random cash bonuses, tons of opportunity to move up, very inclusive and supportive culture, corporate actually cares about you

Cons

Immature, unprofessional, and toxic managers. No guaranteed minimum hours while requiring completely open availability if you want any hours at all, which makes it difficult to maintain a second job to ensure your bills are paid.
