Pros

Easy to land a job Pay is okay for someone without any bills Discount on everything Hours are okay depending on the time of year.

Cons

HR sold the job like it would be the most funniest place to work. But really its horrible. Didn't get my schedule until a week after starting. On my first day they pretty much just threw me in the back tagging clothes, which isn't my job. Management doesn't have a clue what goes on since they pretty much stay in their office all day. I could have been sitting in my car my whole shift and they wouldn't even know. The staff is full of middle age people that just gossip all day and take the job way to serious.

Pros

The discounts are great! If one of the good managers/team leads is working, I'll be able to get an extra smoke break or maybe even two. Otherwise, it's not happening. They've been very, very flexible with everyone's hours! Much better than anywhere else I've worked! I really appreciate that the majority of the staff haven't been racist, discriminating, judgemental, etc. They've given work opportunities to all types of people (they're not picky on one's race, disability, age, looks, etc). 👍 They really do seem to be an equal-opportunity employer.

Cons

There has been lots and lots of theft because they have absolutely no security other than their products' tags. Almost rarely do we see a janitor or the manager. It's been very hard to get used to coworkers because they're constantly going through staff! It's not just me that's been bothered by it. Plus, SO many staff, including myself, have always whined and complained about our lack of hours, but the full-time staff get overtime?! Yeah, the amount of hours absolutely sucks when it's not a big "shopping" time! Your best luck for getting your wanted hours is only around Christmas and back-to-school. 🙄
