Thank you for your feedback. We offer both lunches and breaks to associates that vary based on the length of shift. We encourage associates that have concerns with their leaders to call their HR Business Partner or District Team Leader. Understanding the region and district where you work would allow us an opportunity to address your concerns. We would like an opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact Ed Kruger, Human Resources Business Partner, at e.kruger@OSJL.com

Pros

30% store discount only as good as much as you use it

Cons

conflicting instructions from different managers. retaliated against for following the initial policy when they change it a moment later. overworked while others are allowed to slack/make excuses. employees/managers will gaslight/sabotage to make more work for you or make you look incompetent. cluttered, cramped isles and shelves with items falling off; dangerous work environment. lack of proper equipment for tasks, slow registers, barely any price scanners, supplies not restocked efficiently, broken/breaking equipment replaced with worse equipment. 5 star positive reviews must be from the in-group with how polarized the reviews are; you are either in or out.
