Pros

I like the variety of decor and the employee discount is nice.

Cons

The management is awful, You getting people to sign up for the credit card is literally the only thing they care about. If you have an emergency and call in, you better believe you’re getting in trouble on next shift. They watch camera and assume they know what and who your facial expressions are meant for. I’ve been working there for about 6 months and I’m the only one left that was there when I started, so many people have quit it’s ridiculous. They play favorites and if you’re not one you’ll be treated like trash. They’re very short staffed, yet they cut hours every other month. When you’re hired they’ll tell you, you won’t be doing the same thing every shift and you’ll NEVER be stuck at register all day but that’s a complete lie. 90% of the time they’re only 3 workers in the store during closing time, 1 will do register all night while the other associate does go backs and cleans while the “manager” does whatever they want (meaning absolutely nothing). If they don’t like you they will make you do everything by yourself especially the things nobody wants to do (clean bathrooms, get carts, etc.) I would not recommend even my worst enemy to work here.

Pros

The other co-workers are pretty cool. That's it.

Cons

First, everything was going really great, I was getting a lot of hours (40 per week) I was really happy. As time went on, corporate had to cut hours (with no explanation as to why) my hours started going down to 30, 20, and right now it's less than 10. No really, on my last paycheck I was only paid for 5 hours. That's a joke. When other past employees say that all they care about are their precious credit cards, believe them! Management will only "like" you/ treat you with respect only if you get them those praised credit cards. Getting customers to sign up for a credit card is by luck! When a customer tells me no, that's it, I'm not going any further. If they want me to become a sales person, then they need to start paying commission, they don't even give any of type incentive for getting credit cards. There's literally nothing in it for you. Oh, and did I mention that you have to get at least 3 credit cards?? 5 if we especially "need" them. Yea, and this whole cutting hours, always understaffed, "you need to do this, you need to do that" thing needs to stop. One last thing and then I'm done, this store cannot keep a freight team together to save their lives! It's so bad that they have the people, who are usually cashiers, as their freight team because they can't get anyone stay for more than a week. And I finally know why, they dragged me around the freight team for a week, on the first day, I was ready to walk out and never come back. They just throw you out there, with no guidance, I had no idea what to do so I would try to do what everyone else is doing and they told me I'm doing it wrong! I was beyond furious. Anyways, thank you Glassdoor for letting me vent. Oh, and don't forget to do your axonify! 🙄🙄
