Pros

The company is technologically advanced, which made training and HR processes more efficient. Systems like Workday helped with communication, scheduling, and onboarding. My coworkers were supportive, hardworking, and genuinely great people to work with.

Cons

Unfortunately, employees were not valued at the store level. Staff were underpaid and often undertrained, yet expected to meet unrealistic expectations. Stores were not consistently given enough hours to properly staff, recover, or merchandise, which created constant pressure. Management focused heavily on credit card metrics above all else, often at the expense of employee morale and customer experience. This focus contributed to a stressful and unhappy work environment.

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.
