Pros

Found the core job duties to be easy and I enjoyed working with most associates, and most of the store leadership.

Cons

Was thrown into the fire at the store level and took longer to train on some areas than I would have preferred. Watched managers gossip and mistreat other associates and get away with it. Any mistake I made was met with scrutiny to the point where my days off were spent anxiously waiting to go back to work to figure out what else I did wrong. These were typically minor learning curve errors, but were constantly presented in a way to undermine my competence. When reporting an instance of workplace misconduct to the store manager, I have a feeling the store manager approached the associate in question in a way that revealed my involvement in the report. I was treated poorly and met with hostility. After realizing nothing was going to change, I left.

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.
