Pros

-Awesome Store Manager -Generally 20-30 hours per week (And I'm part time.) -Customers are, for the most part exceptionally understanding (Perhaps because they are used to dealing with small children). -Other associates are friendly. -Relatively easy job. -Responsibilities are not at all difficult to learn. (Although exchanges can be a bit frustrating.) -Tasks are varied, so the job is not that monotonous.

Cons

-Assistant Store Manager is on a power trip. -Paid minimum wage starting out (this especially stings because I just graduated with a Bachelor's Degree. Oh well. I'm still optimistic that I'll progress.) -Major LP problem. -Understaffed -Training is minimal and vague.

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
