Pros

1.A lot of departments to move to 2. Cafeteria 3. Generally Good People 4. If you shut up and do work like a robot, then you can get by 5. Oh theres a Starbucks! (It closes at 3? and its operated by cafeteria workers, not even Starbucks workers, so quality is not consistent)

Cons

1. High Pressure Enviorment 2. Disrespectful Management 3. Deceving Job Titles 4. Below Market Average Pay 5. Toxic Work Enviorment 6. Company and department Does not breed success 7. High Turnover Rate 8. Company has neglected its finance and accounting departments 9. Overpriced and below average food cafeteria 10. Bad excuse for a gym 11. Lack of stability and constant change, especially when it comes to floor plans 12. Seniority reigns and new talent leaves as quickly as it comes into the company 13. No company events or anything to help build team morale, it is a do as your told job 14. Broken system, not just accounting but the whole finance team, it works like a broken clock and has a team too big. This could be easily fixed by fixing the system so the company does not need an oversized team to help fix the mistakes which should not happen in the first place 15. The team is too big, 5-6 people for what should be one job and this means pay is too low and work gets done very slow 16. The work is boring and should not exist in the first place as it mostly comes from a broken financial system 17. The hours are 9 hours a day since they do not pay for lunch. While most companies are reducing the workday and offering work from home, this company is going the opposite direction 17. Lack of respect for low level employees from senior works, who are not even management or a supervisor, which can stunt growth and can be demoralizing 18. Prehistoric requirement to ID in every single door in the building so the company can track where you are going or if you took a long lunch GASP 19. No Existance of work life balance 20. Very bad for anybody who has multiple commitments, aka children, grad school, second job, since it will suck the energy out of you

Pros

• Weekly Pay • Decent enough benefits for full time

Cons

• The usual retail BS. I don't know what about going shopping people makes people act so poorly but it's very prevalent here. • Metrics are everything. How many membership upgrades and credit card applications are more important then anything else you can provide. We've had management actually accuse people of trying to sabotage store numbers during slow weeks. • Are more then willing to hire new, part-time employees at higher pay then what they are paying full-time employees who've stuck with the company. Hope you like only getting a 0.40-0.50 cent raise each year while a new hire who is treating this as a second job starts at $20 an hour. • Skeleton crew, especially in the afternoon/evening. If anyone in any department calls in, is fired, quits, or gets time off, be ready for the whole store to have to shift to compensate. • Give management an inch, they'll take a mile. If they think you have even an ounce of helpfulness or a need to be a team player, get ready for them to pile work on you, even scheduling you for jobs you didn't sign up for, including managerial work (sans the pay and benefits). • Little-to-no room for advancement. They would much rather hire in new team leads/managers then promote from within the store. This includes hiring people with zero retail or managerial experience. Or they'll just push the managerial work onto an employee and give them nothing in return. • No formal training/curriculum. You job-shadow a coworker for one 8 hour shift and that's it. And your first day will usually always be on a busy Sunday.
