Pros

It's a great place to work at if it's your first job especially! It really teaches you how to work at a fast pace, work as part of a team, and looks great on your resume. I'm also a full time student so they do well with working around my school hours. I was first hired on as a seasonal associate but was hired on as a permanent part-time employee. It really depends on what department you are assigned to that decides how much of a workload you will recieve. For example, womens is probably the most difficult. The starting pay was also over min. wage.

Cons

The pay raises aren't that spectacular and you usually are given duties that the managers were supposed to do.

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.
