Pros

Great business model and continued opportunity in off-price. Very talented buying teams.

Cons

Culture does not foster openness and 2-way communication, have to be very careful what you say and "fall in line" with senior leadership direction. Not in the culture to say "good job" and celebrate wins. Hyper-focus on what not doing well.

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.
