Ross does not pay well, only minimum wage for positions that should pay $10/hr or more. That's what keeps prices low. - Sales Associate Ross Stores Employee Review

Pros

Ross does tend to hire anyone who is looking for work, making it a good place to get a job if you have nothing else. They also give a 20% discount off already low-priced brand name items, which is perhaps the main reason many employees have for staying there.

Cons

Low wages, disrespect of store management to workers, lack of communication on store policies and procedures. Lack of group training for jobs leads to many people not doing their job correctly, and subsequently getting fired for it. I have worked at Ross 3 months so far, and am already one of the most senior members on staff because of constant firings.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
