Pros

No pros to working here at all

Cons

Not allowed overtime. Asked to come in while I had college finals and asked if I could reschedule finals (lol). Forced to confront a shoplifter who was double my height. Management wouldn’t talk to him. Promised a bonus to work thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas. Never given the bonuses. Coworkers gossiped about customers in their ear pieces and about other coworkers when they weren’t on shift. Shamed for not receiving high enough numbers, even if it was a slow week. Was also told to go “flirt” with a creepy guy twice my age to get him to buy something. Went to just help and was polite about helping, then the guy stalked my social and wouldn’t leave me alone until I got police involved.

Busy back to school season, although that's entirely to be expected. Never had a bad experience

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.
