Pros

-Ross is a great company to work. As an assistant buyer or Buyer you don't really have to be in the office all the time. You get to go comp shopping and to vendor meetings which is great, to change things up along the week. -They move its ABs (Assitant Buyers) around departments, so you get a good well round experince before becomeing a Buyer. -Good benefits -Monday's theres breakfast served, bagels and fruit. -Security- they take it very seriously, to cover the company and its employees. -Good vacation time compared to other US companies.

Cons

-People at the office are nice, but I did notice there's a little bit of talking and criticizing other employees. I guess that's normal everywhere. -HR wasn't really clear since the beginning, they wouldn't give me an estimate on how much time I was supposed to stay as temp. The nice thing is that they gave 3 weeks notice, which is really good timing for you to start looking for other opportunities. -The only way I can describe the office interiors is sad, very few offices get a window. - As a temp, your parking is not covered, the ready to assign $150 dlls a month. - Most people dress super casual.. Wait, I guess it goes for the LA offices.

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.
