There are so many cons in this job. First thing I should say is that it is a very hands on and physically demanding job. Now, that is not a downside really. If you want a job, you have to be prepared to work. What's bad here, though, is that you only get one break every four hours. There were times when I had a 3 hour and 45 minute shift so I didn't even get a break that day. You are on your feet the entire time and if you even stop for a minute or two to take a load off, you're yelled at to get back to work. The training is bare minimum and you are really expected to just learn as you go. You are also written up for every little thing you do wrong. I was written up several times while in training for simple mistakes I made. Instead of just telling me what I did wrong and showing me how to fix it, they had to go and take me to the office and write me up like I was a little kid in trouble. They were also short handed most of the time(I wonder why) and I was having to do the jobs of two or three people. I was expected to run the whole cashier line by myself while still in training. I also had to lift things twice my size with zero help. I am a compact person who is only 5'2. So, that was very demanding for me physically to do. Overall, I would not reccommend working here.

- 10% discount - Like I said, customers are treated like gold here, but they'll crap on their own employees to satisfy their customers. - The pay is awful, especially for a merchandise coordinator. It's not worth the work we put in. - Never enough help on the floor to finish projects in your department, so you'll constantly be pulled away. In fact, there are times when I'm barely in my department to clean and set up my displays because I'll be on backup cashier constantly, be put on a project that has nothing to do with my department, be told to do markdowns because there wasn't someone scheduled to do them for some reason. Meanwhile, if the DM or some other type of management walks in and asks what is going on in the department (why is it such a disaster) that department coordinator gets thrown under the bus. - Communication is horrible. - Presumptions are always made. Gossip is rampant. - Favoritism. For example: coordinators will be told that they must have open availability for the position and they cannot be going to school, have another job, etc. Yet, SOME coordinators will be allowed to pursue a college education while working a coordinator position. Hmmmm. - We'll be told to do something one way, then another, then another by the DM ... then another way again. There's no winning either way. - Extreme disorganization in the way the store is run. - The morale with the employees is awful here, which in turn effects customer satisfaction at this store sometimes.
