Pros

-Manual labor work -Busy work (plenty of tasks to fill your shift) -Flexible hours -Friendly coworkers

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE -Hostile work environment -Aggressive managers(severe micro-managing) In my departments you were watched like a hawk, not allowed to work with or talk to another employee WHAT SO EVER, and given a long list of tasks to do without any clear direction. The work itself wasn't hard and I actually enjoyed the manual labor and daily tasks, however, it would be easier to accomplish the tasks in a timely matter if your coworkers were allowed to split the work load with you. That just isn't the case though, being friendly and working as a team is a joke to the NEX. The managers don't wish to help you succeed and grow in the company, it's clear their only motives are to harass you and squash any motivation you had to put into your work.

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
