Pros

Great associates make it a tolerable workplace. ability to be privvy to upcoming sales a with employees discount makes for some great bargains.

Cons

Management is unbending and does not show up when you call for help, very long hours for nominal pay, expected to do the job of three and then have your hours cut as well, no recognition for a huge job well done, no commissions to strive for, no incentives except for a turkey at Thanksgiving provided you meet their goals. Credit is a very hard push.

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.
