Where do I begin? If "zero stars" were an option, that would be my rating. - Low pay and added stress for such high productivity standards for nearly every position in the store - Corporate is severely out-of-touch with reality - Cash registers and other electronic equipment are ancient - "Training" is a joke - Effective and consistent communication is not a part of the vocabulary - Lousy benefits all-around.... part-timers get no benefits - Morale at this store is abysmal all thanks to management - Turnover is consistently high - Scheduling platform ("WorkJam") is a joke of immense proportions - No in-store parties or other forms of employee appreciation for anniversaries, birthdays, perfect attendance, "a job well-done"; etc... just be a mindless robot - Human Resources is a colossal joke and complete waste of time - Stockroom is a safety hazard - The majority of the customers are pure trash - Highly inconsistent scheduling - They will keep you as part-time for as long as they can so they can continue being cheapskates when it comes to scheduling. Additionally, full-time is really only available for store managers, "area supervisors" and MODs ("Managers On Duty) - They make last-minute changes to already posted schedules without telling you. Advice: always screenshot your weekly schedules from the piece of crap "WorkJam"; or take a picture of the paper schedule that is posted in the break room - Overall, a horrible experience for so little pay, zero positive recognition, and through-the-roof stress levels
