Pros

- Competitive 401k - Great benefits and employee resources - Paid vacation and sick time

Cons

- YOU WILL SPEND AN UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF TIME DOING LOW IMPACT WORK (stocking, cashiering, cleaning up trash, etc.) BUT THEN WILL BE REPRIMANDED FOR UNDERPERFORMING IN YOUR WORK CENTER. - Too many "leaders" and no one is on the same page - Subpar training, yet you will be expected to perform unfamiliar tasks with very tight deadlines - Unnecessarily heavy workload. Cryptic and conflicting expectations. Extremely high levels of stress - Is afraid of holding criminals accountable. Cares more about "brand" than stopping thieves. They will place you on a final warning or terminate you for "gross misconduct" if you do "accuse people of stealing" when they clearly are. - No work life balance. You will be constantly contacted by your Store Team Leader or Business Partners when you are away from the building. - A lot of pressure to attain a daily Red Card goal when you are Leader On Duty when you are running around the entire store. - Extremely lenient with underperforming or dishonest team members - Cares more about being a philosophy than a business - Outdated equipment. Computer devices are constantly experiencing technical difficulties. -50+ hour work weeks with no lunch breaks.

Pros

The pay to start off is really good compared to other Asset Protection jobs with other big box retailers such as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are very slim unless you know somebody, have spent a lifetime working for the company, or like sucking up to people
