Pros

You get a good discount, and the staff is super approachable. On top of the fact that the job itself isn’t too stressful.

Cons

They don’t listen to your availability at ALL. On top of the fact that they only give you about three 6-hour shifts for the first few weeks that you work there. And then don’t listen to the shifts that you’d like to work, or the days you need off.

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
