Pros

I really liked this place when I first started. The pay was above average, hours were decent and they offered a pretty generous benefits package. Corporate and upper management seemed to genuinely care about their employees. Front end management seemed efficient and relatively organized. There were plenty of opportunities to advance or cross train in other departments. The other employees overall seemed motivated, friendly and happy to do their job. I thought this job was going to be exactly what I was looking for -- a job that pays my bills, offers decent benefits, without the stress and hassle that other jobs have brought in the past. But then somewhere along the line, that all changed...

Cons

- High Turnover; Lazy, Unhappy Employees. Lots Of Backstabbing and Throwing People Under The Bus. Hostile Work Environment. - Micromanagement; Tons Of Ridiculous Rules To Keep Employees In Line, Disorganized and Clueless Managers. Corporate and Upper Management Couldn't Care Less About Anything As Long As The Store Is Making Numbers. Every Day Employees Looked Down Upon And Treated Like Children. - No Incentives Offered For Perfect Attendance, Exceptional Service, Checkout/Ring Speed or Seniority; Creates a Boring, Non-Competitive Worplace and Unmotivated Employees. Consider yourself lucky to even get a thank you from one of your bosses or supervisors. - Little Opportunity To Advance Or Cross Train Unless You're Part Of The Management Clique Or Are Friends With Someone In Another Department.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
