Pros

You regularly get 20% off everyday however on scheduled days during the year they give you double discount so 20% and 20% you’re also able to use any coupons they have out if applicable

Cons

It’s a department store so if you work cosmetics you have to go pick up other departments in the store like women’s and children’s. They’ll also take you from your department to ring in others (so if you are cosmetics you lose the commission). Also shoe department must meet their sales goal before they start to make commission which is hard at times. You also have to ask permission to leave early if the weather is bad and usually management will say no

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.
