Pros

just another job to put on a resume.

Cons

poor training, old cash registers from the early 80s, unrealistic credit card goals, insensitive management, dirty departments, hours cut suddenly, scheduling was difficult to change, less than stellar quality items, constantly being placed in different departments with no training or knowledge of the department. I went a whole pay period without working a single shift because of how poorly sales were in the store after Black Friday. I quit over the phone, no 2 weeks notice because at that point, they didn't have my respect.

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.
