Pros

3 days on and 3 days off provides much m ore time for family. Lots of opportunities for promotions

Cons

The company is no longer the family business it once was. It is all about the stock price. Managment has lost the leverage to solve problems and issues on their mown. Every thing is about exectuion. " Execute the program or I will replace you with some who will" is the motto

Pros

You have alot of opportunities. The way I always looked at it was where else can you start as a cashier at 19 and end up being an assistant manager at 25- with out finishing college. I started in 1996 making $4.75 an hour and was making $43,000 a year in 2008 when I quit.

Cons

They don't really care about you! In 2008, I was pregnant. I was about 14 weeks along and ended up with bronchitis. I went to the Dr. and he said he wanted me off for a week. I did all the paperwork to be out, however inventory happened to be during this time. My store manager made me call in everyday (even though that was not the policy for a medical leave of absence). Every morning that I called he asked when I was coming back to work and I needed to be there for inventory. I ended up going back to work earlier than my paperwork stated and I held on to the bronchitis for a total of 6 weeks! I was so aggrevated by the situation that I had a hard time getting my love back for the company. My baby was everything to me!

My mother was in the the hospital with internal bleeding I took off two days to be with her,I am an only child,when I came back to work they told me I had been warned about being out so they didntneed me any more I had been out four times in nine months due to personal illness and family sickness.Every thing unexcused. In 2004 my Dad died I was to bring a doctors excuse to be out of work 1 week.When you work overnight you dont get two nights in a row,you are off one night work the next night ,and offthe next night. Ihad worked for Wal-mart for 5 years when they fired me
