Pros

I love the people I work with on the floor and most of the store management team. Some locations are easier to work at than others.

Cons

Family time/time off is almost non existent, especially during the holiday season (October through mid January). It's even harder for cosmetics associates because of gift with purchase timeframes and never ending "preorder" periods. In a 12 month span, cosmetics associates have a window of ****maybe**** 2 months total that you can actually take any time off. And if you don't get to take your time off, it does not rollover into the new fiscal year

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.
