Pros

Before all of the changes you could be sure you were rated fairly. I was also not called a TRL which many of the associates changed to troll. Thank you R.J for letting me go before you completely destroyed the rest of the company. Face it You are out of money and out of time. Make a change now.

Cons

Now: everything about this company is a Con. The CEO needs to be fired. I was given goals last year and then when they gave the year end rating they actually changed the goals so they could rate you wherever they wanted to. The goals are not performance based. My store was a top quartile store and yet I was given a pink slip. The reason? I was paid to much they wanted cheaper younger people to do my job.

Pros

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Cons

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
