Pros

Some supportive Coworkers: Some staff members are friendly and supportive, providing a sense of camaraderie amidst the challenges.​ Employee Discount: The store offers a 20% discount, with occasional double discount days, which can be a perk for employees.​

Cons

Chaotic Management Structure: The store suffers from an overabundance of managers, leading to inconsistent directives and confusion among staff. This disorganization hampers productivity and creates a stressful work environment.​ Senior Sales Associates: longstanding sales associates exhibit territorial behaviors, often refraining from assisting new employees in acclimating to promote your failure. Training is minimal. Humiliating Work Culture: Employees often face belittlement from management, fostering a culture of humiliation that negatively impacts morale and job satisfaction.​ Demanding Workload: The job entails long hours with relentless inventory tasks and restocking duties, contributing to physical exhaustion and burnout.​ Unethical Credit Card Sales Practices: There is immense pressure to push high-interest-rate credit cards onto customers, a practice that feels both predatory and unethical. For instance, a customer who had recently overcome homelessness purchased over $400 in clothing to donate to a women's shelter. Despite her recent credit struggles, the manager insisted she apply for a credit card, disregarding her circumstances.​

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.
