Pros

Pay is okay. Gift card on your birthday and anniversary.

Cons

They promise room for advancement but when you try to transfer they will deny you the chance to. If you want to advance give them a chance and you'll find out just how much they actually do promote from within. Work conditions are awful, if half of the things that go on there were reported to OSHA they would be in a heap of trouble. If you like mandatory overtime this is the place for you, if you enjoy spending time with your loved ones I'd keep looking. You will constantly get accused of doing things that you didn't do, and if you ask them to review one of the dozen cameras that are on the employees at any given second they won't do it ( I can only assume its a dominance issue). They belittle their employees and constantly speak down to them. The majority of the co workers I worked with had god complexes and would indulge in constant sexual harassment of the female employees, some select supervisors enjoyed doing this as well. I quit this job and it was the best choice I have ever made. I have never been so stressed out working anywhere in my life and that is usually the general consensus from most of the workers (if they're speaking honestly). My advice STAY CLEAR!

Look over the sugarcoat

Pros

The company offers excellent health benefits, you are rewarded and recognized when you have an outstanding performance.

Cons

Long story short - the health benefits are great because you likely WILL get injured at work. There is heavy lifting involved, daily and constant. That's why I think that's sugarcoating, people are happy about their benefits but ask around and see how many people have problems/surgery with their backs, knees, hips, neck strains, you name it. The stores are usually small and without employee common area (although the newer stores are different, there are still 400 stores out there that do not provide that). Breaks in this company are a freaking joke. They "value" so much their employees, but God forbid if you bite your sandwich and a customer walks in the store, you either spit it or chew twice only on your way to the register. Good luck trying to heat up your food, you can never eat it anyways. That's just ridiculous. I had no training, was thrown to open a store by myself after 1 week and was reprehended for not having the same performance than a professional that was in that store for 8 years.

Pros

Good benefits, profit sharing, free soda/coffee during your shift + piece of fruit, uniform allowance.

Cons

Favoritism, double standards, toxic atmosphere in some stores, 1-10 minute break after 5 hours (if you're lucky 2-10 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift (unless you're a smoker, then you get more breaks), lots of employees back stabing each other, employees and managers allowed to hang out outside of work, bullying by co-workers, a lot of stores will expect sick employees to work unless you can find someone to take your shift.
