Pros

Management's overall strategy is on target - they understand their targeted consumer - although jumping in and out of categories is confusing to the customer

Cons

They have unrealistic work/life balance expectations at the corporate level Be careful who you align yourself with - it continues to be a very political atmosphere with many undercurrents and cliches to be navigated. Not for the neophyte.

Ross Stores Response

Thank you for your review. The culture at Ross is humble, strategic, growth-oriented, and collaborative. Every department is different, but those core traits remain true throughout the business. Being described as a "political atmosphere" is not how we want our culture to be perceived, so your comments will be shared with the proper parties. Thank you!

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.
