Pros

they listen to employees and have programs in place for them to voice ideas that are actually implemented. discount is the best i have ever seen.

Cons

falling into the big box retail trap. cutting payroll to save money but at the same time, rolling out new programs every day to try to boost sales. no help on the floor, leaving upset customers and sales manager having to work 50-60 hours to pick up the slack only to barely stay a float.

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.
