Pros

- VERY flexible scheduling. Great for a college kid. - Management at my store is a bit chaotic, but they DO care for their employees. - The work is incredibly easy. - I adore my co-workers. They make it worth it for me.

Cons

- Lower starting pay compared to places where you do the same job, such as Target or Ross. - People can get away with anything so long as they open enough credit cards. - I have about 6 managers at my store and none of them talk to one another. - No chance at a raise unless you become a supervisor. - The store is open entirely too late. 10:00 on a weekday, for real?

Not as great a place to work as it seems

Pros

Compensation is good; heath benefits are fair. Great having a health center near the corporate offices

Cons

They promote work life balance but don't really live by it. Work loads are extremely excessive across most departments and positions.

Pros

Discounts, pay, time off & the people you work with made the job tolerable.

Cons

Leadership is not the best. Some middle managers are not leaders and unqualified to be on the positions that they are on. They do not value their employees.
