Pros

They offer health insurance. They are union which makes it harder to be fired but that keeps wages low and can lead to poor quality of employees.

Cons

Pay is not competetive. Raises are promised but not delivered. Receiving earned retroactive pay requires a lot of time and arguing with management and usually leads to nothing. Expected to be responsible for multiple departments. Unsatisfactory training so you can complete your tasks. Unrealistic expectations from management and few compliments or any other type of reward when you do a great job.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
