Pros

Store team were great to work with and the majority of the customers were fantastic.

Cons

Unrealistic workloads with no payroll to support No support in hiring, so many stores are in crisis mode, the pay rates are low and the incentive is" a great place to learn and grow"? Full time managers lose PTO because they are understaffed and can't take time off No Covid pay, You are out of luck if you don't have PTO to use Upper management is not supportive and just wants us to "gumby" our way through all of this. Unrealistic plans with not enough in store merchandise to sell No support from DM's and you are lucky if your email or call is responded to Pay for assistant managers have them jumping ship to other companies that pay a living wage Stress

Pros

Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

Cons

The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
