• Best thing

  The constant treating me like I'm a thief. Bag checks when leaving and every transaction reviewed on camera

  Worst thing

  The no holiday pay no insurance and no hours. The pay is 11$ and you are the cashier and the stocker. Corp gives huge workloads and no hours with no pay

  I love my customers. I love most of my fellow associates.

  Worst thing

  People that do not care about the job are not held accountable. It gives a "why bother" vibe. The people who do care get a steady stream of what they can be doing better.

  The people I work with are amazing. My manager is a wonderful guy who is doing his best with minimal staff. There are times where he goes without days off just to make sure his employees aren't overworked.
