Pros

Management is great, at my store. Work with you on hours. They try and have fun, chatter on the radio throughout the day. Nice discounts, have a lot of fun activities.

Cons

Long hours, a lot of walking around, a lot of mundane straightening. Pay is not great. Expect you to really sell credit cards.

Not enough training for new associates!

Pros

The employee discount is great.

Cons

As a new employee for about a month I can tell you that the training was complelty inadequate. I "shadowed" someone for about 2 hours, just watching them, very little time actually getting to "do" the job. My next shift was a full day on the register with no other training. The computer training is a joke, there was very little information in the computer training courses that actually helped me when I started work. My orientation was sloppy, a quick tour around the building and some talk about recovery standards, that was it! My next shift was in Jewelry, no computer training, and about an hour with another person there. I still have no idea who all the supervisors are and what there names are. There are too many employees but too few shifts, I have rarely met the same co-worker more than once, there always seems to be different people. Too lax on attendance! Call ins are a huge problem! We are constantly short staffed because people constantly call in sick and are never fired! The customers abuse the "Yes We Can!" policies. Even in my short time I have been abused by customers who don't get their way with screaming, yelling, throwing stuff.
