Pros

Easy job, that's the only positive thing I can say about this company.

Cons

Only got like 8 hours a week. The other employees were extremely stuck up and formed cliques where they refused to communicate with any of the new employees. The management team was extremely poor and treated employees as if they were worthless and constantly talked down to the seasonal associates like they were stupid. Your pay is based on sales, so if your sales are low your pay will remain at minimum wage and you will never receive a raise of any kind. They also refused to work around a school/ college schedule and you were not allowed to have a second retail job even if that retail job isn't a clothing or department store.

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.
