Pros

50% off clothes, shoes, and purses. 30% off electronics and other merchandise. You have to wait 3 days before you as an employee can buy merchandise, by that time it's already gone. So really there is not a single pro. Even if you did wait the 3 days and it was still there you couldn't afford it anyway with the lousy pay.

Cons

Everyone has an attitude problem because the pay is so bad. Management is terrible. We throw away brand new merchandise people donate to us because it is "out of season". You are lucky if you get a break. Savers says it helps other countries and so on and so forth, but it continues to pay us like garbage. How can you help others out when you can't even pay your workers a decent wage? On sale days it feels like you're working 5 Christmas's at once and you're still getting paid like a dog. Slavers is a terrible place to work from the top down. I'd rate this dump a 0 out of 5.

Pros

Full time, no other Pros about it. There's more cons than pros.

Cons

Not enough money earned by the hour. Managers are horrible, trainers not really attentive, nor did they know how to accurately price an item. I was let go after just two days of production, was told I was going "too slow" more than likely I was discriminated against because I am a Heavy Set Male. I was taken out of my department and put into a department I never worked before or had any experience in. The Production Manager was completely unsympathetic and told me straight to my face "It would be a waste of both our time to stretch this out over the next four weeks and see if you pick up speed, cause I don't see you picking up speed at all." Was told by everyone including managers not worry about my speed because it was the first week. Store has yet to open! Not once was I told that I was going "too slow" Also found it weird on the first day of production my co-worker and I had all the work in our department done by the end of the work day and everyone was staying late because they were not done. Also the trainer laid out the DVDs and CDs for the next day, I went through them and got them done in less than five minutes so how is that going slow? Earlier in the day we had watched a training video against discrimination in the company and yet I got released and was discriminated against for being fat. This company is evil. They expect way too much from their employees, they really should just have machines do the production work. They lied to me throughout the interview process, I constantly told them I wanted to be a cashier and they didn't even offer me a cashier position. Was completely unaware of what I was hired for. Production manager called me a liar saying that I knew exactly what I was being hired for which is not true considering on the first day, 95% of the team members had no idea what they were hired for. These people are liars and unprofessional. They set too high standards that nearly impossible to meet and instead of working with employees who are "struggling" and give them coaching like they promised, they just immediately release you.

Pros

The employee discount is very generous, as is the chance to work in a really cool thrift environment.

Cons

Managers tell you that they will give you all the tools to succeed but set you up for failure instead
