Pros

Better pay than most retail, employee discount, paid holidays, 401k match, met some amazing people with phenomenal work ethic, learned about pharmacy and OTC items, promotions are feasible if you are smart and work hard. It's never boring.

Cons

LONG DAYS. An "on shift lunch" in a high volume store equals no lunch. The store manager and district manager can make or break your experience working here. There are some great managers, but there are more underhanded and deceitful ones. No work life balance for management without putting yourself in hot water. .. Constantly cutting hours beyond what seems prudent or logical

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
