Pros

You get really good at folding clothes You learn good customer service You learn what maximum toxicity in a workplace looks like.

Cons

The whole work environment is so toxic it's really a joke.. -> gossiping (rumors spread like wildfire), triangulation, favoritism, harassment, lying, putting you down, findng & exploiting your weaknesses, stealing credit & doing it in your face, making fun of how you look, making fun of how you do your job. This is all managers, and your supposed co-workers. Low transparency between management & non-management, unless management likes you which goes back to favoritism, and if they DON'T like you, prepare to suffer and watch how everyone starts to magically turn against you, and that's if they don't already hate you... HR has tried to help me, but turns out they could only do so much. When I confront them about what I'm going through, they try to downplay a lot of what I am telling them, or tell me what I should do instead in those situations. A lot of the time, it just feels like they can't do too much, maybe because they need workers? So I don't want to be overly harsh with them, they have definitely tried to help me, but they also limit what they tell you, so it comes off a bit complacent at times. Ultimately, I really wish I followed my gut and just quit earlier. No job is worth your mental well-being. If you don't want to work with shady, mean, and toxic toxic people, I wouldn't suggest ever working at this place. Save your sanity.

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
