Pros

Employee discount Friendly fellow associates Easy to learn business process for associates

Cons

No set schedules On-calls Not very great management Not much training.. (Gives you a handbook, makes you watch videos on people who steal things and to give people crates. Never had on-call for part time jobs did not know on-call was in parenthesis or that you need to call and hour in advance)

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
