Pros

Get to meet lots of people many of which become frequent customers on a first name basis with them and their families. Willing to work around rotating schedules such as with another job or in my case school. Not a difficult job so it shouldn't stress you out very much at all and it should not add to stress you may already have.

Cons

Experience very dependent on the quality and friendliness of your stores management staff. For some reason the company believes in a skeletal crew for the majority of every shift outside of maybe truck shifts. Expectations high for everyone due to skeletal crew so every person on every shift must overwork to make life slightly easier for the next person. Company should show more concern for the well-being of customers and employees under disaster type situations such as icy conditions, being snowed in, A/C breaks in store, etc...

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
