Pros

Decent health care, good co-workers. There isn't much else to add for this part. I'm just trying to get the 20 word minimum I need.

Cons

Management are treated like slaves. Corporate office tells us to think but micro manages every detail of the day and job. They create salaried employees just to treat them like slaves. 70 plus hour weeks are normal but your also told your not doing enough when you actually try to leave on time. Pay scales are very out of date on average fleet farm will offer 20 percent less than industry average but claim pay doesn't affect turnover, retention or employee happiness. There is absolutely no life and work balance. Company was recently bought out by kkr an investment firm and they promoted several employees from within but made a few bad choices in doing so. Employee moral is terrible and the corporate office is oblivious to what is happening at store level. There so into creating checklists and micro managing that they can't tell the stores can't hire or retain staff because of the pay scales.

Pros

Management was very nice. Fun environment to work in. Great scheduling.

Cons

Not very many cons at all. Maybe that some days we were short of staff in the back and had overloads of work to do and not enough time.

Pros

20% discount Literally just that

Cons

Everything else! Awful training Awful communication Awful scheduling skills lack of organizing lack of staff lack of an HR person Lack of general manager now too Infested with rodents! Probably more violations of employees rights and OSHA etc than I've ever fathomed possible in a retail environment! This was my first retail position at a large chain store like this and it was insane to me the things I experienced. As a cashier why are we basically forced into interacting with rodent feces without PPE? Awful situation all around. Won't be surprised if the company gets sold or closes stores in the near future.
