Pros

The interview was very easy! My first interview was a group interview and the questions were really simple. Second interview with district manager was easy as well, he just wanted to get to know the type of person you were. Very nice work environment, flexible hours and good pay, started off at $12/hr.

Cons

Store associates would sometimes have to work 6 am-2 pm shifts unloading a truck.

Pros

Honest customers, amazing co-workers, wonderful store manager and shift managers, great district manager as well. I enjoy seeing the customers and getting to know them. I have been blessed to see them pay for someone you may be short on cash. I have seen several customers pay for the person in front of them when they we're short a few dollars. One even paid for a whole order for someone who had forgotten their wallet. One week vacation after 6 months of employment is a perk because believe me you will need it! Being able to put in request for days off and almost always having them granted is great. There is plenty of room for career advancement if you are willing to work hard. I feel like my shift managers at my store managers appreciate my work. I like that they give feedback when I'm don't do something correctly or could do it better. I feel like they are always striving to make me a better employee. They make great strides to ensure that the people they hire fit into our team and they do an amazing job.

Cons

You will work very hard for your pay, though I'm not sure that is necessarily a con, but let's say it's not for the faint-hearted. Some customers can be very rude but I would say that's only about 1% of our customers. Having a very limited amount of special buy products usually angers the customers and we have to deal with that as cashiers. I feel like I am constantly apologizing for the lack of special buy items. We run out very quickly sometimes within a day. The workload that needs to be done in a short amount of time with a few Associates is very overwhelming at times. As business has grown exponentially, there is not enough help to meet the customers needs. If we are all at the cash registers, then there is no one on the floor to help the customer or to keep things stocked. We often have lines back up and are unable to keep up even with all of us at the cash registers. This is not good for business! It tells the customers they are not your number one concern but makes it appear that you are more about profit than meeting their needs.
