Pros

They're always hiring, no experience required.

Cons

You are disposable to this company, and will get paid more working as a bagger at a large chain grocery store. Your health isn't important, and during the pandemic they didn't pay anybody sick leave who caught covid from working at their stores. They don't provide appropriate cleaning products, and the employee turnover rate is ridiculously high.
