Pros

For a beginner job/temp, the pay is awesome. Scheduling is easy to change and discus with management, they can work with just about anything. If you’re bored easily, lots of roles you can learn and excel at.

Cons

You’ll get passed up on promotions and used like a dog if you show any interest in making this a career. They won’t give you a heads up about “testing” you and you won’t be financially compensated for it, but expected to jump through every hoop perfectly. They’ll make any excuse to not make you a team lead despite all your qualifications and give the promotion who was hired recently with no qualifications, or even someone who was not clue what they are doing.

Dusty sometimes and some of the stuff can be gross but that's just part of working at a thrift store, having to handle that stuff

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
