Pros

Annual salary is 40,000 and the 401K is 3.05 for every dollar you invest. They promote store manager only from within which is good and bad. Good, because the store manager, in most cases, started as a cashier and could end up as a store manager, district manager, or regional manager. Bad, because without the right training you can be promoted too fast and become nothing more than a gloried stockboy who never learned the proper leadership skills needed to have successful staff.

Cons

The management position involves long hours, stocking shelves, and working several weekends in a row! Scheduling is supposed to be fair, but unfortunately for managers it is not. There is a lot of heavy lifting, pressure, and poor feedback with this position. You work really hard, but nobody notices or says any thing.

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
