Pros

The hourly crew is usually pretty dependable and friendly. You'll get plenty of walking in. I averaged a few miles a shift.

Cons

The management is hired on a "who you know" basis, not a merit system. Company is reducing most hourly staff to 24 hours for the Affordable Care Act, but is publicizing the 600 jobs they are adding. Hazardous. When I left, hypodermic needle use by thieves was on the rise. One of my co-workers was maced. Loss Prevention is Hands-On. Pressure Point Control System is learned and used. You will get bumps and cuts. You also must double as fire/health/safety officer. You do have an arrest quota. You need 16 points a month. You get one for thieves approached that get away. You get 4 for arrests. I was "let go" for failure to reach quota, so it is enforced.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
