Pros

Full time, no other Pros about it. There's more cons than pros.

Cons

Not enough money earned by the hour. Managers are horrible, trainers not really attentive, nor did they know how to accurately price an item. I was let go after just two days of production, was told I was going "too slow" more than likely I was discriminated against because I am a Heavy Set Male. I was taken out of my department and put into a department I never worked before or had any experience in. The Production Manager was completely unsympathetic and told me straight to my face "It would be a waste of both our time to stretch this out over the next four weeks and see if you pick up speed, cause I don't see you picking up speed at all." Was told by everyone including managers not worry about my speed because it was the first week. Store has yet to open! Not once was I told that I was going "too slow" Also found it weird on the first day of production my co-worker and I had all the work in our department done by the end of the work day and everyone was staying late because they were not done. Also the trainer laid out the DVDs and CDs for the next day, I went through them and got them done in less than five minutes so how is that going slow? Earlier in the day we had watched a training video against discrimination in the company and yet I got released and was discriminated against for being fat. This company is evil. They expect way too much from their employees, they really should just have machines do the production work. They lied to me throughout the interview process, I constantly told them I wanted to be a cashier and they didn't even offer me a cashier position. Was completely unaware of what I was hired for. Production manager called me a liar saying that I knew exactly what I was being hired for which is not true considering on the first day, 95% of the team members had no idea what they were hired for. These people are liars and unprofessional. They set too high standards that nearly impossible to meet and instead of working with employees who are "struggling" and give them coaching like they promised, they just immediately release you.

Pros

It's a Job I guess

Cons

The pay is just over minimum wage. There is no work life balance they don't offer holiday pay and require you to work on all holidays except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. They constantly add new thing to the job and will never give you a pay raise or advancement. All around bad company that's taking advantage of working class Americans.
