      Not a happy place

      Front end supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I loved being a front end supervisor. I loved solving problems and helping the cashiers. It would make the customers happy and satisfied when I came quickly to the register and solved the problem 1-2-3 with a positive attitude the customers and cashiers loved me and my energy. They also sent me for training. The sent me to the RI store fully paid training. That was a great experience with such a talented smart professional staff.

      Cons

      The girl who ran the cash office (sry I forgot the title of her position) She bad mouthed everyone. Talked down to me and many employees. I know 100% she messed with my employee # on the Kronos machine. She had marked me as late way to many times. They fired me for being late. I felt it was so unfair. She was already fired when they let me go. I know I wasn't late for my shifts as much as they said. That cash office girl did me in.

      Low pay, standard retail work

      Visual merchandiser

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      part time can have flexible hours employee shopping nights for 40% off occasionally

      Cons

      Open most holidays which are labeled "mandatory" for all employees selected so you cannot request time off to be with family, no matter how long you have worked with the company or no matter how far in advance you request the day off. They stopped really giving raises in 2017. If min wage goes up don't expect to be pushed up.
