Pros

20% discount, first look at sales and clearance items

Cons

Will not work with you on scheduling. I was part time, I have a full time job elsewhere Monday thru Friday, and was expected to work every Saturday and Sunday even though there were other people in my department wanting extra hours and were scheduled off those days. I would put in for time off well in advance and they would never process it to have me off correctly. They cut my pay $3.50 for my sales per hour going down while they had a major store remodel during that review period that the store looked horrible and we could not find anything. I worked there 5 years, I don't know how I last that long, and only about 5 people were still there when I left that were there when I started.

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.
