Pros

Associate discount 10% and sometimes 20%

Cons

Instead of giving hours they hire more people. The Average weekly hours is like 10-15 hours. The pay sucks You are not appreciated Bad communication between managers A lot of associates are calling out so you have to do their job as well The store manager has no respect for their employees You get yelled at a lot because they don't give enough training when they hire you. You have to do everything in the store.

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
