Pros

The discount is amazing you can get allot for your buck with the discount.

Cons

Lack of hours if your working here be ready to have a second job you wont be able to survive off there low hours and you get paid biweekly .Mangers play favorites .I dont see many career opportunities here at all and be prepared to work the whole store by yourself while ALL 4 mangers are in the back hanging out.

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
