Pros

Opportunity to grow Free uniform 15% discount Move department when available position Benefits/ PTO Competitive pay Staff cafe privacy HR on site Lockers Online support/ training/information Paid training Posted 3 week schedules

Cons

No shift exchange per managers (new rule?) Kronos does schedule, hassle to update shift (prefer coworkers to get occurrences) Schedule posted usually 1-2 weeks out Hours vary Favoritism Some lazy co-workers/ don't care attitude Managers make fun of coworkers Occurrence system sucks Writting off warnings in an ambush way ( no time to review what you are signing & rarely give you a copy when you ask) New store concept, new hires do the job of 4 Breaks are hectic Move around only when new position posted You can tell when they don't want you to move position HR gives different answers/ their interpretation Random shift times/ different every week Cocky managers/ power-trip attitude when Hr is not around

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
