Pros

I worked in the IT department. The culture is nice. All employees get quarterly bonuses. Company holiday parties are pretty extravagant compared to what I've experienced elsewhere.

Cons

Depending on the IT team you land in you can either have a great or a horrible time... I landed in the latter and was overworked, over-stressed, and under-compensated due to having salary pay. And when these things led to medical issues and I had not enough PTO to fix them, I was left high and dry because I couldn't take FMLA (I didn't use their health benefits)

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
