Horrible place to work

Pros

just another job to put on a resume.

Cons

poor training, old cash registers from the early 80s, unrealistic credit card goals, insensitive management, dirty departments, hours cut suddenly, scheduling was difficult to change, less than stellar quality items, constantly being placed in different departments with no training or knowledge of the department. I went a whole pay period without working a single shift because of how poorly sales were in the store after Black Friday. I quit over the phone, no 2 weeks notice because at that point, they didn't have my respect.

Pros

if you have to, do it for a short time, and hopefully your co-workers will be nice.

Cons

constant cutting of hours, threatening culture, no exception rule of having to meet sales and credit goals or the bullying culture starts, top down threatening corporate culture, talking down to employees like they are in kindergarten, no raises ever again, only pay by performance, new policies like rock the dock which make department organization worse, constant turnover from unhappy and mistreated employees. managers that spend time in office writing daily notes on what you need to do that could be talked about in 2 minutes, a waste of a position, horrible management/employee relations. EXCEL LINE that does no good. Unless you are sexually or racially discriminated against, forget hoping that the bullying stops. It won't, until it becomes a law.
