Chattanooga, TN - December 18, 2021
Nice employees, No hours, if you are looking for more money the job pays about 8.00 an hour which is low if you are a bakery worker, cashier, or stocker.
The boss that I had was not fair and he showed alot of favortism to certain women. Also the customer service desk had a habit of having people call in and complain on cashiers pretending to have been a customer. But I liked the employees but you cant get ahead there.
Pros and Cons
clean store and nice employees
bad management
