Pros

As far as retail goes this job isn't too difficult, and if you're good at opening credits you can make a decent amount of pocket cash.

Cons

Corporate doesn't care to follow their own policies - you must do exactly what the customer wants. If they complain to corporate, you will be punished even if it is for following company policy. Don't meet your credit goal? Forget getting a raise. Your pay is based on sales per hour and if you don't get enough you will get your pay cut. Oh and that includes non-store hours, so you have to make up for those.

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.
