Pros
Flexible hours. Great {for the most part} coworkers. Discount on purchases of 10%. Health insurance available and 401k plan for those who stay long enough to vest. Advancement opportunities for young employes who are strong and in good health.
Cons
Management at the top {i.e. Dan Bane} don't care when we are abused by insane and unreasonable customers. Any customer can get you fired by calling in a complaint anonymously. Manager (captain) won't stand up for an employe being attacked by a customer. High turnover. Some captains, like mine, enjoy hiring and firing people and do it a lot. Our captain has been cutting numbers of days and hours of current employees while continuing to hire new ones. CEO Dan Bane has just reduced semi-annual raise limits and decreased annual 401k contribution by 1/3, and health premiums are scheduled to rise, he says -- blames it on "Obamacare." Store is very cold. Typical stint on register is 4-5 hours per shift. No rest breaks. High level of physical back injuries, espec. back injuries. Captain and supervisors play favorites.
