Pros

Love the merchandise and customers. The store has so much potential. Lower level managers care about employees.

Cons

Hours decreased to 5 a week. Manager turnover is horrible. Lead manager needs more training does not allow Assistant managers to do their job.

Not Enough Hours, Management Dishonest

Pros

The work is very easy in my opinion. Great discount, at 20%. You can use it at any store. My store was only open 9:30a - 9:00p, so it wasn't late or early hours.

Cons

Not enough hours. I'm talking 3 - 15 hours per week. When I was promoted to keyholder, it only went up to 20. Management was dishonest: they told me before I was even hired that I was being made a manager, then made me a cashier. Then, kept promising me the promotion - it took 5 months to get there. It took them over a month to get me my raise once I was promoted. They also kept promising more hours, only to give less. They did this to everyone, not just myself. Insufficient training. Management had different standards for themselves than the rest of the store.
