Pros

Co-workers were awesome! Plenty of hours in August and September! $3 meals Direct Deposits

Cons

If you haven't drink the Kool-Aid, then you get ready for a bad experience! Be careful what you say or do! There's always someone turning you in for points! Scheduling is based on performance and seniority doesn't matter and be prepare lift 100+ pounds constantly! Expect to work 120%+ (Full/Self Serve Departments) for little pay! Management is all talk and no action but love to write you up! They preach work/life balance - nope! HR = goes in one ear and out the other! Market Hall and Show room associates need to contribute more "work" instead of sending customers to Self Serve. I don't know why they get more pay for less work!

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
