Nothing to build a career upon, but a decent job

Pros

Decent training helps to create quality associates that know how to handle most situations, a nicer place to work in than certain other retailers, associate discount events can save you up to 30%, recovery hours after closing are not nearly as bad as other retailers

Cons

Most time dedicated to work (terrible balance between work and personal life), holiday hours can be exhausting, from time to time incompetence in senior managers (the people that are supposed to be relied upon in times of need)

Pros

Flexibility if you need a part-time job Corporate partnership is commendable

Cons

Local management is very poor: unable and unwilling to balance metrics requirements with employees needs. Lack of professionalism and knowledge of local management is dismal. Employees are too afraid of retaliation to voice their real concerns. Too many changes too fast for local management to assimilate.

Pros

As an on call associate, my hours were flexible. I was able to work when it was convenient to me.

Cons

There was not much training. I was frequently expected to know things that had not been shown or explained to me.
