Ross Stores reviews

The customers are the worst I've ever had to interact with. The pay is NOT worth the work they have you do. You can't do anything if someone just walks out with a bunch of merchandise (EAS and all). You are timed at the register. You're timed doing markdowns. You're timed doing cash office. You're strictly timed in stock room. Just about the only positions you aren't timed for are SPS and fitting room. SPS might be the worst position of all. I was the best at my job in my district (per our district manager), possibly in the region (again, per my district manager) and all I got for it was a "thanks for your hard work". No pay raise, no real recognition, no bonus, not even a gift card. What I had to endure to be the best at my job was: yelling, stealing, verbal harassment, cussing, and threats of violence up to and including death. My safety is not worth what they paid me to stand at the door and take all of that. I never felt safe in that position. I'm glad I'm now salesfloor, but it isn't much better because now I am required to learn how to and perform everyone else's job! I am paid the highest out of the non-management at my location and it still isn't a livable wage.

1. Overnight schedule disrupts normal routine. 2. Physically demanding on your body. 3. Limited supervision and support overnight. 4. Harder to balance social life. 5. Cooler wages than daytime roles.
