Pros

Don't do it!!!! There is nothing good about working for these piranhas! They care nothing about you. If upper management gets it in for you then it is over.i have watched them run employees into the ground. I read the reviews from past employees before taking the job and most were bad, I asked the supervisor about this and was told that, "Oh, you know disgruntled employees can be." So, I took the job but I am here to tell you that every negative word you read is true and it is even worse than I could ever have imagined. Do yourself a favor, look for a real job. These people sincerely will harass, belittle, humiliate , and treat you with no respect whatsoever. Communication is non-existent and all they care about is that almighty dollar. You will be expected to do all but go out into the store and run over patients with a grocery cart and then invite them to come to The Little Clinic to be treated for their injuries. Don't expect management to ever have your back because they won't . You do get an employee discount on certain items but trust me the prices are so high it doesn't matter. You are getting ripped off. The great news is, every day does finally end! It may be just before you slit your wrist though!

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked! I loved the patients, they were awesome and I had a couple of pct's that were really good but ALL management is horrible. They are unprofessional, mean-spirited, uncouth, just to name a few. Should you decide to work there record everything that happens from day 1. Keep ALL emails , record your daily visit logs, keep a record of you time card. Be prepared to fight every day of your life. This, back to my original advice. DON'T DO IT !!!!!!

Pros

Great benefits at a reasonable cost. First year you get 2 weeks vacation, 5 PTO days, and 5 Health and Wellness days. Loved the hourly (union) people I worked with at various locations. They become your second family

Cons

- Crazy schedule. You will be either scheduled to work a 7-5, 12-10, or a 9-7 depending on the location. And even when the schedule is posted for the period it typically changes week to week, so do not bother making plans. And get ready for 5-10 closes in a row then opening the next day. -9 times out of 10 you never get to use your earned time off due to circumstances at the store you are assigned to. And yes, you will lose them they do not accrue. -If you are lucky enough to be assigned at a store with a strong store manager then things are different, but if not, get ready to blamed for every failure of the store, even when the labor model continues to be cut to the point that you are lucky if you have 2 people in a department and someone from corporate walks in and wants to know why the departments are not set. -Endless micro-managing. Your day is mapped out what you should be doing verses what you know you should be doing. It is check the box that that the "task" is completed when in fact there is no one to complete it, except you. Ergo that is why many just "fudge" it.
