Pros

I loved working at Mackey's. It's a great store to get to know the people in town and help them with their day to day like gardening and their animals.

Cons

Spring, summer, and fall there are great but winter is the slow months where everything is just busywork.

Pros

Scheduling is flexible and you won't be bothered out of work hours. Customers are usually easy to deal with and the regulars are nice. Dog owners usually bring their pets which is cool.

Cons

Nobody there seems to really enjoy their job. The owners at this point are 3rd generation owners and seem hell bent on running the business into the ground for profit while not taking care of their employees or the premises. Sure they will bring donuts on the weekend but it's the same corporate vibe of "we gave you a pizza party, and you have the audacity to ask for a raise". I was hired in bad faith (this was echoed by a majority of staff in their experience). The position I was hired for was "Service Rep" with the entire focus of the interview being interpersonal skills and customer service. They said they would start me off in the warehouse for a week so I could learn the type of goods they normally moved through the store. Naturally, that led me to being a warehouse worker for 6 months at a pay below the industry standard. OSHA rules are a suggestion and violations are commonplace. More than once I was asked to get on a pallet and then lifted up 10+ feet over concrete floor by a forklift to retrieve a bag high on warehouse shelves with no safeguards in place. Yard work is conducted at night under unsafe lighting conditions. Employees to them are viewed as temporary and yet they can’t figure out why people are constantly going through the revolving door. This is why the scheduling is so flexible as they hire as fast as they leave. The management to bottom level employee relationship is toxic at best and the owner is a textbook narcissist. If you value your children, don’t let them work here.

Pros

Associates are nice, chill retail job

Cons

Upper management doesn’t care about their workers. Won’t pay for simple store supplies. Safety hazards galore that they ignore.
