Pros

The people at my location can be fun to work with don’t get me wrong and the managers are really nice depending on how the shift went.

Cons

The time and a half we were all promised went to management or shift leads, none of the sales associates got it. They work the people at my store to the bone and yet none of us are labeled as full time (this month alone I’ve work 39.5 hrs each week)

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
