Pros

Most corporate managers are easy-going and it's really easy to get time off. Flex Fridays during the summer are a huge benefit. Discount is pretty good, double discounts are even better.

Cons

Some managers and upper management are harsh and love to micro-manage. You don't always interview with them so you don't know what you're getting until you have worked a while. You won't get fair pay unless you know someone OR you know how to negotiate really well. They really like to get people in the door for crappy pay and promise a raise, which you definitely won't get. 1% yearly raises are all you'll get, if that. Be prepared to stay in the same spot for a while. IT department is a cluster, most techs have no clue what they're doing. On-boarding and getting proper equipment takes literally months, sometimes years. If you want to be rewarded for good work, be prepared to be very loud and complain. Otherwise you'll get no recognition.

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.
