Pros

Well you determine pretty much what you get paid. Get your sells up and open credit cards, you can easily make a nice increase in pay. They don't do pay decreases that many other retailers do. They have a decent vacation, personal and sick time for full time workers. Also my healthcare is really competitive with other workplaces in my area. They also offer vision and dental.

Cons

Being retail, often hours during the holidays are not very family friendly. You get a lot of blackout dates. Also it's pretty much store dependent on how your work environment is.

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.
