Pros

- Friendly staff and managers - if you have some useful tickets or certs, you can make $13 hour to start - Full and part time - medical, dental, msp after 3 months probation - some music - chatting with co workers - support Red Cross and Big Brothers - get discounts on store items, if you shop there

Cons

- The back Team Member area is setup like a sweat shop - very dirty, needs major over haul, maintenance, paint job, etc. - The employees work in teams at each station - The truck unloader feeds these workers all shift long - its based on quotas and production - thousands of pounds of clothing, etc. every shift - its a job, until you find something else better

Pros

Discounts. Incredible coworkers. App they use for scheduling and pay is really nice. Always left on time. Relaxed dress code. Schedules came out early.

Cons

Doctor's notes aren't "a valid excuse for absence" ??? You cannot buy anything in the store unless it's been there for two days. The managers are untrained. They refuse to trespass people (even though one customer threw glass onto the floor in a fit of rage and TWICE a fellow coworker's stalker came in and they just had them hide in the back) Most of the managers don't really help on the floor. They refused to put me on registers despite us needing the help and me not only having checkout experience, but I'm also fully trained and capable of being on the register. They pushed my male coworker to the registers even though he didn't have any previous retail experience way sooner than they did me. Schedules would be put out so early you couldn't request time off if something came up.
