Pros

The work life balance was okay, and you get time and a half for anything over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week

Cons

They often take one or more people from a department and tell them they need to help on lanes. Once, this caused me Pay was not good It took around 700 hours of work to get a $0.25 raise (at the most). I showed interest for about a year in becoming a Team Leader, I was told I could do it but they never moved further, even after my online training. Unreasonable expectations from management Only day the store is closed is Christmas Team Leaders were often very lazy and would (several times) leave early when the workers had to stay and continue straightening the aisles late into the night.

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.
