Pros

I like that we have access to employee purchase the goods carried in store. I also like that they offer healthcare benefits. That is about it.

Cons

Salaried employees are expected to work 6 days a week for 12 hours a day. As a store manager I am constantly belittled and made to feel like trash. Most things are out of our control at the store level but they don't care. You have to deal with people whose sole intention is to come into the store and rip you off.

Pros

The benefits can be decent, there are growth opportunities, and if you’re lucky, you work with a great team.

Cons

Poor management on many levels. From a store level, extending to corporate, the “leadership” needs work on their people skills. People are only capable of handling so much, and the lack of support from upper management makes it harder to work day to day. Additionally, the goalpost is always moving. If you manage to exceed their expectations, completing those same goals will no longer be good enough. The lack of support when it comes to customer abuse is embarrassing. We’re in 2026 and we should want to support the teams that are keeping the company running. Corporate is out of touch with reality. Anyone making over 6 figures a year no longer view customers as people, but as numbers. It doesn’t matter what horrid stories you hear on a daily basis, they are expected to bend to standards that shouldn’t exist anymore.
