Pros

As the headline said, it really is the easiest retail job I've held. I've worked for other stores such as: Target and Menards with this store being the easiest based on costumer volume and with it being a smaller store.

Cons

Management wasn't ideal. Had multiple people quit (including me) because of one individual that the district manager and general manager did nothing about even after multiple staff complaints.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
