Pros

They don't drug test because they don't have the funds to pay for it

Cons

Stores are consistently short staffed but cannot hire due to payroll restrictions. Managers often have 1 or 2 employees to run the entire store. Theft is rampant, including customers and employees. Wages are at the bottom end of retail work, several dollars below the local living wage, raises are less than inflation, and because of that new hires make more than employees who have been there for years. Naturally, this leads to high turnover and a high percentage of fresh untrained employees. SOP's are hidden, outdated, and convoluted so everybody just wings it with no accountability.

Pros

Fellow coworkers were nice. Most everyone was very respectful, and worked together

Cons

Corporate has unrealistic expectations of perfection. Management plays favorites. White Glove District Manager tears through people of one pencil is out of sequence. You will experience mistreatment if the Manager decides he doesn’t like you, or if he’s just in a bad mood. He’ll take it out on you
