Pros

There are small pockets of amazing people. The vacation buy program for corporate employees is helpful for working parents. The wellness center is convenient and cost effective.

Cons

Over time, we’ve seen many of our top performers leave or be let go. It seems that employees who are adept at navigating office politics or who return as interns often advance more quickly, regardless of their work ethic or intelligence. Those who challenge strategic decisions in pursuit of better outcomes feel undervalued and often ignored. Loyalty and dedication do not translate into higher pay or promotion opportunities. The company’s use of the word “agile” is an excuse for the company’s consistent short-term strategic vision/inability to follow an aligned strategic vision.

Pros

None. I was hired to be a person that restocks and cleans, they saw I was able to ring up and put me as a cashier.

Cons

Very little pay, terrible training, horrible management and some terrible customers. Disgusting location also, I went to a manager about toilet paper out in the women restroom, he told me it was a morning task. It was 7pm, the store closed at 11pm! Also CASHIERS ARE LYING YO CUSTOMERS TO GET THEM TO OPEN CREDIT CARDS! Shady stuff I heard as a cashier. Also during my interview no one showed up, when I called the manager made it seem like I was bugging her for my interview
