Pros

You will definitely get hired. They hire ANYBODY. If you must have some job, this could be for you.

Cons

The 10% discount doesn't help much; they want you to do ALOT. You get fired for anything. They drug test you after hiring you. Even if you cant find the place where the testing is done, they fire you. Working as a cashier, you have to ring people up and clean tables in the front of the store where thousands of items are and that customers throw everywhere. As a floor associate, you have to put back all the clothes people try on and do not want, you have to pick all the clothes up off the floor (they fall a lot because the racks are too close for people to walk through), you have to find prices of all the items cashiers cant ring up because a tag is missing, and you have to stock new items in your department As a fitting room checker, you have to stand in the fitting room your entire shift. You have to answer the phone, keep the fitting rooms clean, clean the ladies hosiery area (which is horrible), and stock new items. You also cannot take a break if the store is busy (which is all the time due to the prices). The store is filthy. There is dust every where, huge buds and holes in the walls. There are no known opportunities for raises and/or promotions. Hours change weekly. Schedules are released on Saturday for the next 7 days (i.e. On Saturday 6/17 you find out your schedule for 6/18-6/24). Thus you could work on a Sunday and not know until Saturday, No chances to plan your week ahead of time.

Pros

There are no pros to working at Forman Mills.

Cons

Employees don't get raises, or promoted fairly. They are unorganized, and the management is not equipped to run the store. Working at other stores is a lot better than working at Forman Mills simply because other stores train you the correct way while Forman Mills does not. There is simply to much work placed on you to earn only $7.40 per hour. Not a great working environment at all.

Pros

If you need a paycheck/need to find a job right now, go there. You'll probably get more hours than what's scheduled if you close, because closing takes forever.

Cons

They keep everyone but managers at part time to avoid paying benefits, in addition to that hours can swing wildly. If you are new you will probably work on weekends. The break room was dirty and there were a lot of workers who were very disgruntled. They'll work you to the bone
