Pros

You can ask to be sent to a different store

Cons

You apply for one position but end up working as a cashier, custodian, and freight/receiving. There were many times where there weren't new schedules for the upcoming week or email/phone communications but still expected to know to show up. Scheduling during the day was not unclear, on a few occasions I was not provided a lunch break appropriate with my arrival time and was even threatened a write up when I informed the assistant manager on duty that I had an hour before leaving but was given a break. We had to stand for hours during our shifts, despite the fact that the company provides stools, and I developed horrible back pain. Almost everyone that worked there was overqualified but needed the money at the time, they did not stay. I finally left when I experienced death in my family and illness (COVID was around but not known yet) they were not empathetic at all. The 10% discount is NOT WORTH it. They heavily discourage unions and its no wonder why.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
