Pros

Long hours so working minimum wage is almost livable.

Cons

The people around you are unhappy, they lie to you to get you to accept the job and then forget about you. Some of the lies I was told were that I would get a free coffee every day at the starbucks, that I would be working in the furniture department, that I would receive good benefits, and that my breaks and hours would be regulated and upheld by the company and even the union they practically force you into. Bad training and then blamed in your performance review that you don't work hard enough. Applied as part time and working full time hours. Slow to get raises if you do at all. I am a part-time, minimum wage (7.45 an hour) floor associate and some nights I am forced to work and close the entire home department by myself. That includes baby, toy, domestics, home decor. Four HUGE sub departments. It's ridiculous.
