Pros

- It pays every week (In Georgia that's hard to find). - The Various store managers are very knowledgeable about their department. - The employees discount (for when you buy clothes or other things). and that's it. - A Massive selection of clothes (if you're in a big store).

Cons

Corporate is wasting money like it's drinking water. - They don't have much room for growth. It seems like even the department managers are unsatisfied with their pay. - They need to pay the employees more and worry less about retarded things like people can't wear their cellphone holsters on their hip while "on the floor". - They don't pay as much as other electronic stores (that are in the retail category). - Starting pay varies wildly from person to person. - Hours are so inconstant. One week you work 12 hours, next week you work 29 and the next week you work 9 hours - Department managers don't seem to be cross-trained in other departments. - Training sucks (not much computer or video guided courses). They like to throw you in the pool and tell you to swim. This is a problem for people like me who come from electronics Retail stores that don't do the EXACT same procedures, have different methods and have less "run around" when having to complete a task. - The employees are only there for a paycheck and the discount (Which means this is an obvious dead end job). - Corporate seems to not care about part-time employees. Which is sad because 90% of the company is Part-Time employees. Only Leads and Department managers are considered "Full-Time". - The health insurance for part-time employees is a joke. You're better off paying for your own insurance. - They shred (stained) clothes that have been returned. When it can be washed and sold for half price.

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. 🙄
