Pros

High pay comparatively to other middle management positions

Cons

-Leadership is through shame and threats. -They hate and are bad at training. If you can’t just “get it” they will get rid of you before teaching. -Coaching is negative- if you’re being coached, they want to get rid of you. -“Pressure is a compliment.” -More tasks than could be completed in 60 hours, much less 40. -Encouraged to “make examples” of associates as a solution to poor store morale.

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
