Pros

It's a job is about all I can say in a positive manner. People are not horrible to work with but unless you have been there for decades it is not worth working there. The grandfathered benefits employees would leave but they would be fools to do so as no one gives out that much vacation any more.

Cons

Where to start they want a minimum of 50 hours a week for what breaks down to about 20 hours of pay when you look at the big picture. Management is required at to be in the store for at least the 50 hours. The staff in each store are not the brightest but what do you expect for seven to eight dollars an hour. Department managers make more than the store co-managers you can believe that. With the lower class of worker filling the needed spots in the store, the co-manager winds up being the workhorse. What do I mean you sack, chase carts, stock, clean, you name it. Trust me there are better options in the retail world out there.
