Pros

Some good employees but they aren't living up to their full potential. There do seem to be career opportunities if you're willing to play the game.

Cons

From the moment I walked in, I was put to work. No team welcome, lunch, or anything. That should have been my first sign of a poorly managed work place that doesn't care about their employees. There's definitely a poor work-life balance as I was forced to choose between family and pay while dealing with passive-aggressive micro-management. This is what I would imagined working for Wal-Mart would be like but what would you expect based off a corporate business model that profits off of other's castaways. There's definitely a lot of smoke and mirrors while you're being recruited. They do provide benefits...3 FULL months after working there and until then you're not considered a human being. In the end, I'm almost positive they broke employment laws but I just wanted out. Don't worry about exit interviews because they simply don't care.

Pros

From the mutual suffering of working in the back of a musty thrift shop stems a certain camaraderie between coworkers. My fellow workers were, as a whole, friendly and kind to me. Also, I do think Savers has the right idea in terms of management. The open door policy is good.

Cons

I left this job under the definite impression that I was being worked overtime hours without receiving overtime pay. The last straw was when they scheduled me for six days midway through a five-day week, and altered the schedule to make it appear as though I didn't work on a day I did. Aside from that, the job was predictably boring, tiring, and sometimes plain gross: even with a surgeon's mask and latex gloves, I still was coughing and sneezing while on the job. An ideal day was something like hanging clothes for 4 hours, and racking clothes for another 4. As a new employee, you are generally put to doing the work that nobody more established is interested in doing.

Pros

I honestly don't know any considering how god awful this place is. The only people that work here should be those that are desperate.

Cons

Terrible hours Terrible upper management No human resources Nasty dirty stores Terrible store locations High turnover Anyone that tells you this is a good job - lied. Little chance of promotion due to so few stores. So they're no growth opportunities except for the managers that got fired that you're replacing.
