Pros

Some stores have good and great people.

Cons

Do not work at the Kalamazooo Michigan store! Haven't been paid in a month. I'm a student and need food, gas etc. MGR. won't follow up to find out the problem. Called corporate and was told to punch in a number to get payroll...no answer...leave a message. I was threatened with being written up and fired on my first day. They said we had to do everything by the "book"...THERE IS NO BOOK! Its what ever the manager makes up. No orientation just put out on the floor then yelled at and threatened to be terminated. How can corporate teach people to treat employees like this? I'm quitting... still no pay after all these weeks..... you'd think with all the people who quit this store would get back to district mgr. but he/she probably doesn't care either.

Pros

Great managers. This was actually my first job, and I think it gave me unrealistic expectations of what working in retail was like because everything was just so good. This is the ONLY company I've worked for that pays everyone holiday bonus hours, not just management or full-timers. After four months I was promoted to key holder.

Cons

Minimum wage for cashiers. Understaffed a few times and it was a strain on me since I picked up most of the hours. Did get jerked around by the DM when it came time to promoting me.
