Pros

Growing company that likes to promote internally. Good benefits. Something new everyday! Cool merchandise. Great reputation. Tries new programs to keep employees engaged.

Cons

Poor work life balance due to inconsistent shifts. Customers demand a lot for a store staffed as a discount store. Cannot locate merchandise in other stores since there is no tracking system. Starting pay for an associate is $9 hour and will not increase much over time. Limited amount of full time positions in each store. Very physical job.

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
