Pros

I was hired very quickly the final time I applied for the job. It was only a 7 minute walk from my front door at a time I desperately needed to be working.

Cons

Everything else. High theft store, people walked around picking up food and drinks and consuming them while walking around. They would just leave what they didn't want when they were finished and walk right back out. We weren't allowed to do much about it, not that I would have risked my safety to chase a shoplifter. Employees aren't treated really well. Will work you right up to 39 hrs but never 40 because nobody is full time except the salaried store manager. They will split those 39hrs over 7 days so you never have a day off if you let them.

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.
