Pros

Pays more than the average low-wage jobs and has a friendly environment among coworkers and (most) customers. You generally get recognized for doing a great job.

Cons

- some toxic customers have to be dealt with, especially during the holiday season - have to work on black friday/ thanksgiving - the pay isn't enough to live off of (but that's expected) - can't work fulltime unless you are a store manager, or it is the holiday season - no benefits (expected)

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
