Pros

Great assortment of products. Very laid back atmosphere (so laid back to the point of being a con). The atmosphere was fun to work in. It was good to at least have a paycheck while between real jobs.

Cons

I applied here with 8 years of management from a fortune 100 company that brings in close to a billion dollars in revenue every year and was offered a laughable position as a stocker (had to take the job because i needed a paycheck). I was promoted 3 times in my 6 months here but getting management to push through pay raises was like pulling teeth. One of my raises was 12 weeks late and was short of the amount that was agreed on between the district manager and myself. Pay rates are very low unless you are in the management boys club. Management is VERY hands off at all levels. And you can forget about any performance coaching. HQ employees are very rude and not open to ideas and feedback. If anyone makes you any kind of offer on positions or pay GET IT IN WRITING. Luckily i was able to get out of this job and start somewhere that appreciates hard work and talent.

Pros

Laid back chill environment, awesome co workers and nice managers. Employee discount is nice but not great. Job isn’t too laborious and pretty easy if you have good work ethic

Cons

No raises, no proper training, no overtime, only 4 Saturdays a year off, no sitting even if it’s at a computer, flaky co workers who never show up or always call out, high turnover rate
