Pros

Stocking work was straightforward and enjoyable. First manager was supportive, respectful, and gave positive feedback. Job can be manageable with proper expectations and structure. Coworkers were generally fine to work with.

Cons

Management after the first manager left was unsupportive and dismissive. Constantly expected to do multiple people’s jobs at once. No consideration for employees who work best focusing on one task at a time. Communication issues and lack of appreciation for good work. When I explained that I am autistic and have anxiety, accommodations or understanding were not provided. Repeatedly pushed beyond reasonable limits, which created unnecessary stress.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
