Pros

The minimum wage is appealing at first, and you'll get to meet interesting people. You do get a 50% off discount, but...

Cons

All stores have extremely high turnover, both of entry-level positions and managers. At my store this was the fault of the managers being "yes-men" who were hired and kept on because they represented the company's brand better than they could run the store. We've lost good managers and workers who lost patience with the lack of respect and being asked to cover for people who were allowed to slack off. Furthermore, the "Paid Time Off" they boast about on their website is taken off automatically every time you call out. That's right - sick days are automatically taken out of your PTO. Also, about that 50% discount? You can't use it at the store you work at, and in fact, you are forbidden to shop at the store you work at.

Pros

They hire ANYONE Good if you NEED money and arent looking to have a successful career Great teenage job Always a opening If you are lazy just brown nose your way to do what you want Good for teenagers to learn they need to stay in school so they dont have to be miserable at a retail job with barely any money treated like dirt

Cons

Not good if you work hard will work you to death Never get your raises They say they will give raises then either wont or will change it right before he were They treat you like garbage and dont hide it Not a all professional in any store i have been They disrespect customers Most employees have no moral values Run by delinquents Gross, dirty, unsafe They try to cut corners too much and dont care about your safety or employees They dont care about helping the community Greedy and not what i thought it was going to be Super sketchy Worked here many, many, years and am surprised by gow bad they were already but got worst every year HIGH TURNOVER RATE Alwaus injuries both employees and customers im not sure how they get away with it... They dont follow a lot of codes and get in trouble a lot not enough to shut down i guess Sexist because they make women work more and men get to laze about and do nothing a lot Racist they treat people based on race big time and it is so shameful too They dont csre if you are pregnant and make you work unsafely If you bring anything up they try to fire you because they can just fire anyone and are fire happy They threaten to fire you everyday even if you work perfect to squeeze as much out of you as they can Fire you just because they dont like you very personal for even tiny things Run by a bunch of people who are "power hungry" Always hear dirt from higher ups

Pros

At least at my location we had good management and good coworkers. Everyone was cool and there was a lot of transparency from the higher ups.

Cons

The customers leave a lot to be desired. They have little respect for those who work here.
