Thank you for your feedback. We offer both lunches and breaks to associates that vary based on the length of shift. We encourage associates that have concerns with their leaders to call their HR Business Partner or District Team Leader. Understanding the region and district where you work would allow us an opportunity to address your concerns. We would like an opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact Ed Kruger, Human Resources Business Partner, at e.kruger@OSJL.com

Pros

You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

Cons

None that I can think of
