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lenient with underperforming or dishonest team members - Cares more about being a philosophy than a business - Outdated equipment.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.
