First and foremost, thank you for nearly 10 years at OSJL. We truly value those who have helped support the company's continued growth. Sounds like you have concerns about work life balance. We do believe in work life balance and our 45 hour work week for leaders is a five hour reduction from years past. Additionally we have provided leaders with a bonus three day weekends throughout the year and on top of a PTO structure allows for unused portions to be carried over each year. Sorry you have left us but we do wish you well for your future career opportunities.

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.
