If you're not willing to be Target and your Team Leader/Manager's available and willing 24/7 slave, run the other way.

Pros

Transparent pay Some varied benefits

Cons

Management favoritism Biased Hiring/Firing/Promotions Management lying and pressuring employees concerning 90 days call outs, sick days/time off rules, constant verbal badgering by superiors (Head of Store, Randy, and most 'Team Leaders' included) ongoing issue with playing in people's faces. Unnecessarily stressful work environment for all, especially new hires. Point system being implemented to auto fire if you get 3 points, regardless of length of employment, despite turnover rate in relation to attendance is at all time lows, with whole departments calling out at a time on a constant. Not a very inspiring or friendly environment at all, despite what's promoted and shoved down team members throats constantly.
