Store Manager
Not a lot of work life balance but employees are like family
While compensation and staffing levels require attention, the employee team is highly valued, and customer interactions are generally positive. The current staffing situation presents challenges regarding work-life balance, particularly when addressing employee absences.

Manager
overworked
During my time in the payroll department, I experienced significant challenges related to staffing levels and workload. The team consisted of six employees, with the assistant manager earning $10 per hour for a 40-hour work week, and all other positions were part-time at minimum wage. This resulted in frequent periods of solo operation and a high volume of work for each individual. The team’s composition, primarily comprised of part-time employees, presented logistical difficulties in effectively managing tasks such as unloading and stocking the store. While my compensation was acceptable, achieving a sustainable work-life balance proved difficult due to these operational constraints.

Cashier
Cool
I enjoyed my time working here and appreciated the supportive team environment. However, I encountered challenges with customer interactions, and I’ve realized retail may not be the best career path for me. I would recommend this experience as a valuable first job opportunity.

Terrible
Strengths of employment include opportunities for growth. Significant challenges include disorganized workflows and ineffective management. The work environment is consistently stressful and uncomfortable, characterized by a hostile atmosphere. A typical workday is marked by high levels of stress and disorganization.
