I had worked there for a little over two years in the front. Unfortunately, at that time management wasn't great. I had a good lead and supervisor, but the manager, Stephanie, at the time, was not very nice. After having showed up to every shift with no call out for two years, I needed to take off for a family emergency. Upon calling the company hours before my shift, as we were told to do so, she told me that "I need to be responsible and attend my shift", as they only schedule one person in the front most days. In the front, it is rare you will get your legal, 15 minute break and will be met with frustration when asked to take it, as someone must cover your position. After treating the company, my coworkers and management with respect, it was disheartening to be talked down to in this way.

Expected to be greasy when selling, and to hustle like you stand to benefit at all from doing so. Sales competitions are constant, when you win, you get 4 dollars worth of greasy pizza. The seemingly huge wage gap between store managers and the standard floor worker means that they have a bit of a churn-and-burn approach to employment unless they get hired in some sr. role. The absolute bottom end of pay scale on some national policy means that in a place like Kelowna where 45k a year is the poverty line, you work there until you can't afford to work there anymore. A year can go by with no hope of advancement because those positions are held for a long time You're expected to celebrate the $150 dollars extra you'll make after tax from the 10 cents per hour raise you get.
