Pros

Great co-workers and double discount day

Cons

Operations manager. The way our store operated would not work in most stores. Honestly, it's a laughing stock and the operations manager has no idea what he's doing. We clearly didn't have enough people during the holidays and the receiving room always looks like crap. We have a conveyor belk upstairs that hasn't been used in years that had a bunch of junk on it until someone was hired to clear the place up and yet we still don't use it?! Nonetheless, we have 3 people pushing a line and unloading a truck on a small belt. It's an absolute joke. The manager also has us working the floor sometimes without any sort of objective. More than half the time, no one even knows until I let my presence known. Not to mention, the manager likes to call employees on their day off and constantly asks us to come in at a different time. Lastly, I've asked the manager at one point that I prefer to work early on the floor and ironically, the next week, I get put on the floor in the afternoon as far as past midnight for an entire week which I've had to do in the past.

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.
