Pros

- the people, if you get on the right team. not all teams are the same. - full comprehensive benefits with plenty of PTO - career advancement is possible if you voice your desire and go above and beyond to show initiative - work/life balance is good. there are always moments in a job where more hours/workload is needed than other times, but thats part of a merchants job no matter the company.

Cons

- have lived through various layoffs and every time they show how replaceable their employees are at the home office - returning to office, no more remote work after 5 years of increasing gross margin profits year over year

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.
