Pros

Liked most of my coworkers. Was an easy/laid back job half of the time. Had fun sometimes.

Cons

Didn’t get paid enough for being a manager, And having to put up with the awful customers who destroyed the store. Before I became a manager I was getting paid minimum wage for over a year, never was offered a raise until I was about to quit.

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
