Pros

Higher pay than majority of retail/sales in the area. Credit spiff and associate discount + double discount weekends. Good co-workers and decent benefits

Cons

Debilitatingly long hours on your feet. Strong pressure to reach performance standards while severely understaffed. Spiteful and unprofessional management. Lack of proper training. Very outdated pos machines, racks and equipment that makes everything we do, go by 100X slower. Harassing customers for a credit card/app download/their email is not only draining but repellent. It feels like every man for himself most days, and that really hurts team morale. Some employees are credit champions and so they don’t do anything else, offloading all other responsibilities to everyone else. Some are even disrespectful and aggressive- but management won’t let them go because credit is king. Everybody who works at our store is taking some kind of vitamin, supplement, prescription antidepressant or chain smoking just to get through the day. Do not recommend full-time under these conditions. Mostly recommend part time.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
