Pros

It's a great place to be promoted on the inside, if you stay long enough you will get great opportunities, and great benefits.

Cons

Loss Prevention is sneaky, and thinks irrationally. When they came to talk to me about some things they told me. "You know what you did wrong, if you tell me "I don't know" then your lying" My manager limited me to 1 class this semester, then fired me. So i was stuck with only one class. I feel like my manager looked for a reason to get rid of me. After I got fired, I found out that i was being underpayed compared to the others that started in my position. I was also promised numerous things when i was first hired, I put down pharmacy as my first choice and photo as my second. They didn't have a pharmacy position open so they put me in photo. Mr. Groene told me I would be the next to go to pharmacy when a position was open, when a position opened I wasn't even talked to. I was also promised that I would get the yearly review that decides whether or not you get a raise in august, since i would of been hired 2 months before the raise. I didn't even get the review.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
