Not too bad

Pros

Make your own schedule. Great associates. Your own office.

Cons

Quota on shoplifters, even if store has zero foot traffic DM expects two shoplifters per week its virtually impossible. Overly stressful job. You can NOT make people steal, Managements plan is “everyone steals”

Pros

Great team, free food, hard work and initiative are rewarded as much as possible via recognition or more hours to work.

Cons

Hours are tight from Jan thru March, as with any retailer. Take advantage of cross training or the hours aren't worth it in a single department. No matter how hard you clean the store, there is not enough hours in the day to clean it all, but that is mainly the customers faults.

Layoffs in IT

Pros

Work life balance, lots of early career support.

Cons

Lion's share of development is contracted resulting in Associate's criticized for not being technical enough and sadly terminations and layoffs peculiarly seem to impact the older folks who committed their careers to the organization.
