Pros

Enjoy the discounts and most of the people

Cons

Seems the only way anyone ever gets fired is stealing. And sometimes that is just using a coupon not designated for that employee. But being late, not working, calling out often which makes the day difficult for others, an HR that no one wants to talk to because of her vindictive and unhelpful attitude - none of those things will get you fired. Also, understaffing when the company claims to value providing an excellent experience for the customer. And not wanting to spend money for maintainance of a basic like cleaning the carpet. They chose a lite tan color carpet which after 5 years is looking very tired and stained but the person who can approve cleaning apparently thinks this is OK. This is the same person who said to me we needed to keep expenses under control so he would get a bonus and be able to take his grandchildren on vacation. Not much concern there for the front line employees who had their wages reduced to minimum and worry about how to eat!!

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.
