Pros

Pays more than minimum wage and extra on weekends, regular competency-tested raises, instant profit sharing, over all not a terrible job if you need to be hired fast and make some cash.

Cons

They don't hire nearly as many people as they need, we're completely understaffed and yet I still haven't been bumped up to full time even though I requested it when I applied and work 38 hours a week because they "dont have enough payroll". The amount of work you have to do on the sales floor isn't worth the pay; stocking, overstocking, downstocking, inventorying, cleaning, putting out freight, setting up sale, taking down sale, and helping guests are just my basic responsibilities in my own department, not to mention having to go help out other departments when they're short staffed (which is always).

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
