Pros

The break room had a big tv and coworkers always had juicy gossip?

Cons

- Poor pay and even worse pay increase structure, basically need to work an insane amount of hours to see a few cents more per hour - Management will play favorites and if you aren't their favorite, prepare... - Breaks and lunches are regularly put off for later - Not very safe sometimes, especially if you are a female and work late/closing shifts - Lots of system issues with barcodes/pricing/etc that should have been fixed via upper management. Everyone else had to work around it instead of just fixing the main issues. - Maybe it was just my store, but most people had this mentality that rest is for the weak. If you were mistreated, they made you feel like you should just suck it up instead of sticking up for yourself. Very depressing atmosphere and a lot of people there smoke/drink for a reason.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
