Pros

There are some health care benefits (but less for part timers), 401K, even dental You receive points that can be exchanged for gift cards or products. So basically a bonus.

Cons

The bonus points you receive are given out by your managers, and they can just chose not to give you any if they feel it’s undeserved. During the holidays you receive points from corporate , but it’s $100 worth. Managers are being exploited for their time and mental energy. Too much responsibility is put on too few people. short staffed due to poor competitive wages at a highly demanding job which leads to high turnover Not enough hours are given to each department to meet the work load. Employees are expected to put out a high volume of product while responding to phone calls, customers, and anything else that may arise while being short handed. There’s just simply not enough being done by corporate to hire more people, and they will still ask more of you.

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.
