I have three OL — 1) HCL with 23LPA - 20 fixed. 2) ROBERT Bosch 20 LPA - 18 Fixed. 3) SOCIATE GENRAL - 21 FIXED. which one should I join , very confused. which one to choose ?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
