Pros

Cool place, Manageable Tasks, Great managers, good discount

Cons

Food choice for breaks is mostly limited to candy and cookies or chips unless you order delivery or the food next door. Low pay and hours can get very limited due to company set hours per store based on business and sales. So if sales go down due to uncontrollable circumstances, the store may get less hours to use. Most coworkers are only available after school hours because they’re in high school. Small backroom HR and Regional Management is offsite and split between all the local stores.

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
