Pros

Everyone on the co-worker level (everyone except management) was great!

Cons

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION! Management doesn't know what they want the expect you to figure it out. Everyone in this store was always just trying to save themselves which created this terrible culture were everyone pointed the blame and all because management was unclear. They force you to do work that's not what you were hired for. The management was rude and nasty to coworkers ALL THE TIME. They would literally walk right past you and not say a word but talk about you behind your back to other management. When you needed help doing something that you didn't know how to do, because it wasn't your job management wouldn't help you. It was seriously the most toxic situation I've ever been in. I really do not recommend this location for ANY POSITION!

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain 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. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
