Pros

Has great benefits. Ecofriendly. Pet insurance health insurance 401k paid time off sick leave burreavement jury duty pay

Cons

Schedules are awful. They will make you work 4 hours a day for 5 days a week. They dont even look at the schedules before giving you them sometimes and will have you on schedule all 7 days of the sunday through saturday week. Schedules will go against your availability. There will normally only be one person scheduled on a sunday for the busy hours. managers will not care or help. If you need your breaks u need to plan them way ahead of time and hope that you can manage to take them. Then they also try and give too many tasks and spread you thin and complain when you cant do half of them because you dont have enough time, and the time they think you do have you have to manage watching kids.

Pros

The benefits are great and the people are awesome to work with.

Cons

The compensation is absolutely terrible. Unable to compete with Amazon warehouse compensation so many people left for that. If you are not a part of the "clique" with HR, you will never move up.

Pros

Great benefits, work/life balance, lots of vacation time after you have been there a while. Swedish parent company is great.

Cons

Being in a store is like being in high school. If you fit in with the cool kids, and reflect the exact personality type management feels align with the "company values", you can move up in the company. They hire for personality and not skill. They do not train people that are hired for personality but lack skill, which causes issues in running the business. If you have skill but do not fit the narrow personality traits that are valued by US Store Management, then you cannot move upward in the company. Skill does not matter, how hard you work does not matter. The only thing that matters is whether you are smiling when you talk to management. The company is going through a reorganization which is chaotic and poorly managed.
