Pros

20% discount for employee purchases.

Cons

Expected to work through your break. Expected to clock out for break when there is no other management schedule yet you are not allowed to leave the premises. Constantly violates employee handbook and company policy. Company gives hours based on a revenue structure = stores that need help will keep struggling due to lack of scheduled employees. The stores are a constant mess due to more freight than a store or 2-3 employees can handle. Different stores had different procedures.

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
