Pros

Good management pay to start, free condo use, vacation at 6 months (will be needed), 2 weeks after a year. No overnight work or stocking.

Cons

No one really wants to work for the company, hard to hire people. Part timers not allowed more than 29 hours. Not enough associates. No work life balance. Never 2 days off in a row. Very dirty and dishoveled work environment. Bathrooms are disgusting and smelly. 6 day work week from thanksgiving to end of January, didn't sound too bad but it takes the life out of you in a hurry.
