Pros

The PTO accumulates quickly. Holidays off.

Cons

Too many managers. They really think highly of themselves. There's hardly ever a wage increase either. Part-time means hardly ever scheduled.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are always happy to hear from our hardworking team. We value people above all else and we are committed to providing our Associates with competitive compensation to support their lives. We review the wages for our Retail Associates several times a year by comparing them with the market, including the wages of surrounding retailers and the applicable minimum wage, and we will make appropriate increases. Retail Associates’ wages are also evaluated and adjusted during the annual performance review period, in addition to other discretionary compensation we provide to our Associates. Thank you for your continued hard work and we are glad to have you on the team.
