Pros

I started working there because I needed a summer job. I had never worked retail before but it was a very positive experience for me. I learned a lot and my coworkers were great to be around and management was very helpful. I will most likely return in the winter.

Cons

The pay was on the low side and they seemed understaffed. customers can be very scrutinizing of the second hand items.

Pros

Steady 35+ hours Paid time off Hospitalization and 401 k which both are as expected not great Lenient

Cons

Pay is terrible Management makes u think how did this even happen Lack of understanding, not everyone that has a job there is mentally or physically challenged. The way HR treated you and some Management was as if u weren't even talking to them or listening lime AT ALL I remember one time I had to ask "did you listen to a word I just said to you" becuase I tried to get my point across 3 times and they just barreled on as if I wasn't even present . I will say that there is a new person in HR now the one I spoke of was let go. So the new lady seems more fit for the job and she does listen, is understanding, amd kind. Hopefully that office and the job doesn't eat her up and make her sinicle as it's seems to have done to many others there . Management was not good in my department if they were having and bad day you felt it AS.SOON AS U GOT THERE. U wouldn't have even put your coat up yet and u were greeted with attitude most of the day and snicism that made u feel small and like a child. None of it was merited accept on the days I was late which in there defense became a lot compounded not like they had no responsibility for that they reason was because I didn't want to show up for thar job 89% of the employees felt the same amd when i worked lawn care I just got over worked and no one could care less which again kept me away as much as possible. But they just seem me as comimg in late I explained to them that is was due to depression because of the above problems but they didn't seem to care about fixing any of thier own problems just wanted me to fix mine and let them continue on keeping silent when I would exspress concerns to my manager he would deal with it in a way I have NEVER SEEN. Other have seen it many times non of this stuff is exaggerated or un true. Anyway he would literally just say nothing at all most of the time just stay completely silent maybe give like a half smile or something but just eventually walk away or whatever. So that's one way of dealing with something. Also it was impossible to get anything you needed I left there about a month ago and we still didn't have a hammer, channel locks, or any type of tools we needed and asked for 3 months prior and asked for more than a few times. The ones we have thier now me and another employee brought in. But again they only focused on the problem I was creating not where the root of then was. Which I grantee Is the same now and they wonder y they can't keep an employee around. And I was a STELLAR employee worked past everyone everyday doing the hardest job and dealing with the lamest bs and rarely complained but after 3 years of that with no sign of u getting any help it gets to you. But they for some reason couldn't understand that very very very obvious trait about why I had become drained, depressed, and lacking.
