Pros

Many good associates, good employee discounts

Cons

Antiquated registers, constant harassment to get credits or extended warranties. Employees are numbers, doesn't matter if you're there 10 years or 1 year. Constant turnover. You can be scheduled to close one night and come right back the next morning to open, no thought or consideration for the employees or their families. That makes it particularly hard when the store is open later for holidays, special sales. A 10 cent an hour raise, they think is a raise. Associates who do the freight/stock are penalized because they can't make their sales objective because they are doing tag/sensors and are not able to ring as many sales.

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.
