Pros

Pay was decent, employee discount was handy.

Cons

Sr. Management is in a CONSTANT state of turmoil/flux. Also, as an Exempt employee, 14 hour days are the norm. They could give a damn about your work/life balance, DESPITE all; of their assurances to the contrary. They talk a good game, but do NOT deliver in this area. REAL WORLD EXAMPLE: I was on vacation (one day) in order to pick up my son and wife from the hospital where he had undergone surgery to have a feeding tube inserted. My STL (Store Teal Lean, i.e. Store Manager) called me ON VACATION and asked me to rent a UHaul and drive to the store in Elk Grove to pick up extra shopping carts (they were going to reimburse me for the UHaul, which they did) as they had several they wanted to get rid of. I reminded her that I was on leave and that I had to pickup my son in a few hours. She told me that left me plenty of time, can I please do it, etc... In brief, rented the Uhaul, drove in the rain to pick them up, loaded them MYSELF (ZERO assistance from the other store) and then delivered them in the rain. Her response to me? 'That's great, but it sure is a shame you weren't able to go back and pick up more..." At that point, I realized it was time to leave.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
