Pros

Plants, fun customers, work outside

Cons

The managers are crazy and toxic Health and safety violations galore You push credit card sales like the store is dying despite historic gains Some departments can be sexist and there’s a lot of sexual harassment that gets put under the rug because it’s a bros’ club You have to be hot and college age to get positive attention and “rep their brand” (male and female- older looking high schoolers pass too) as described by the store lead (who has since been fired, but his old “friends” are the same, still there, and advancing through the store) Know that refusing to do what your manger says, even if you think it’s unsafe, ABSOLUTELY WILL result in your termination Insurance sucks and they dangle it over your head as an incentive You WILL work full time hours without full time benefits You do get the Covid working rewards, but at a quarter of the reward despite the most exposure, and people who don’t actually have to deal with customers except on the phone get the actual reward plus bonuses.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
