Pros

i saw a lot of former classmates, from high school and college. i like the manditory on-line training sessions, i did not get a chance to complete some of the manager test. although, i think that every staff member, should know what the manager knows.

Cons

promotions are given to who the upper-level people like. the work was hard and end-of-day routine was fast pace also. what i mean thet 100 per cent recovery was expected to be done every evening. However, a person cannot stay past a certain hour to do a good job. recovery is an area where it is he said she said. if the morning person is in a good mood then the recovery is good, if the person is ina bad mood then no matter what has been done recovery is bad. recovery is a area, that they can legally fire-you if they don't like you anyway. they promoted a person to manager that is not qualified. gossip says that they have their former employees followed

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
