All about "horsepower" not "humanpower"...Callus group all around. All about getting oneself getting ahead.

Pros

free candy and the ability to connect with folks from all cultures

Cons

Most folks are uptight and work in silo's even though they claim to be working together. There is a sense of mistrust all around even when folks show a smile. Very few are authentic and genuine in what they do and who they are. It's all about the bottom line and making upper management shine to the leadership team. This atmosphere has increased over the years.

Good pay for a retail store, but no respect by management at all.

Pros

In the beginning the store was okay, more than tolerable based on previous retail jobs. They used to start at 11 dollars an hour and the coworkers are pretty decent. They also used to have set schedules but I believe that has changed.

Cons

There is no respect between managers and associates. Since I have worked there I know that the pay has gone down, set schedules are a thing of the past and even communication between management is poor. Turn over is pretty high and for a store in times square where being busy is a way of life, communication and employee morale should drastically be improved
