Pros

Decent employee discount 40% and nice products if your into cooking Can be flexible with scheduling

Cons

Dangerious stock room situation, cluttered, extremely disorganized, multiple ways one can get very hurt. Which I have. overall cleanliness of the store is atrocious the company never hires cleaning crews to come in to deep clean the store they depend on the sales staff to do it . Aling with the hundreads of other things. Most of the time they are understaffed which is usually a mandate from corporate. Little to no support from any higher ups within the company or management. all good perks & contest wins always go to management never to sales staff. Terrible pay. Consistent hours iand the way they tend to. Schedule imakes it challanging for the 2nd job you will need.
