Pros

discount on merchandise during the holidays. I can't really find anything else positive to say about my experience there. Possibly the worst job I had in my life (I'm 42)

Cons

management was terrible at communication. not enough employees on shift so you would be worked twice as hard for 8.50 working the overnight shift while the company made over roughly 150,000 a day. everyone on the shift was miserable because of the low pay versus the amount of work (freight associate). management would provide food for the day shift and the night shift would get the old left overs.

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.
