Pros

The discount is okay at 30% off.

Cons

Low pay. They don’t think anyone deserves a raise, even when minimum wage goes up. They barely give stores enough payroll to provide adequate staffing, but expect customer service to be perfect. They control everything you do in the store and watch you on the cameras constantly. There is no creativity or free thinking involved. They blame you when people steal from the store, because obviously you weren’t doing your job properly if people steal, even though there is nothing you can do about it. They don’t like it when you talk to co-workers or have any fun at work.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
