2.3Worst company I've worked for besides Doorstep in Jacksonville. I can say at least most of the workers in my store were not drug addicts, but in my opinion some were. Most of them stole from the company, and yet were allowed to do it by corporate workers who didn't want to look bad on paper for high turnover. I was forced to bag people's items in trash bags because corporate decided too many bags were used and put a hold on all shipments. Let's see, if you are a lazy useless worker, you will apparently do well there, where as if you're not, look somewhere else, or be stuck babysitting assistant managers who can't count money at the end of the night. Expect to do every other person's job, because they are too hung over or lazy. I would live in a box before ever working for this company again basically, they tried to make me assistant manger, which would then lead to manager, and living in your store, literally. My manager spent 2-3 nights a week in the store trying to get work done which others didn't do.
1.5Horrible place to work. I'm going on my second year here and I've seen nobody get promoted. They fire a lot though and bring in new people for higher positions that need to be filled. No holiday pay for our holidays off. They fire you if you frequently work overtime because they don't want to pay it. No healthcare benefits for part time employees. All employees are considered part time aside from the various managers and people in higher positions. You'll be lucky to even get a bathroom break let alone a 15 minute break. No motivation, employee of the month rewards, recognitions of any kind. They don't care about you, just what you can do for them. They work you harder than they pay you. Worst job I ever had. The pros are you get paid weekly. That's it.
3I worked for this company for 5 years. I went wherever I was asked whenever I was asked. I helped many stores and advanced rapidly, but at a cost of my personal life and family. At times I was working 80-90 hr weeks (salaried) and always understaffed because the company doesn't offer enough payroll. I was working in a tough city store and was alone every morning for at least 1 or 2 hrs. The rest of the time there were only 2 employees. Some of the stores are alone for 7 or more hrs.
