Pros

Employee discount at 20 % is great. It's a job just about anyone can do, no special training required. Though workload can become overwhelming if you are good.

Cons

No communication to hourly associates from management or the home office. No accountability at store level. No one cares. You try to do a good job, ask questions, interact with the customers and your considered an issue. You are afraid to ask questions or make suggestions because you will be yelled at (YES YELLED AT) in front of other associates and customers. I call that bullying. You are going to lose the most valuable employees you have and then what will the company do? You haven't been able to hire/ keep good help for years now.

Thank you for reaching out. We would like you to reach out an ERM if you feel your Store Manager, DM, and RM are not listening. Their number is located in the breakroom. Or call 401- 295-2672 and ask for HR.
