Pros

Employee discount if you shop there often, store managers and fellow employees very helpful, time passes quickly because always have a customer to ring up or clothes the fold

Cons

Feel like you're badgering customers because have to ask for so much information when they're just buying $1.99 sunglasses, returns require more than necessary work and lots of personal info about the customer, not enough hours for part time associates, amount of merchandise can be overwhelming, can never finish everything that needs to be done

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

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.
