Very immature place to work, horrible district staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy schedule made by myself. I can't think of anything else positive to say about the time I worked there.

Cons

Constant markdowns. Store falling apart & no one cares to fix. Too cheap. Short-handed all the time trying to manage payroll. No mileage or travel time reimbursement. Six-day work weeks for every holiday week. They expect you to work extra hours whenever they feel like making you work.

To my surprise

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You are not Micro Managed. They do have a training format in place, there are books you can reference to guide you. They stress Cleaning and appearance of the store and have a daily schedule you must check off every day, open checklist, a closing checklist, a Sunday cleaning list, and a visual merchandising list. Store manager must close on Friday, Open on Monday and work the first Sunday of the month. They are pretty relaxed. They have a great markdown system in place as to quickly turn their merchandise so they are not sitting on stale product. This company is debt free, and trending up in sales.

Cons

Salary is on the low end. Very small Bonuses ( I guess that's how they stay debt free ), There is no Monthly Bonus. You have no control of your inventory, meaning you get what you get. Even as salary you have to wait a full year to be eligible for a vacation day and You do not get Holiday Pay until after like 90 days, so during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, manager is working 6 days if you start 4th Qtr , which I did.
