Pros

Great staff, and gives back to big brothers, big sisters and third world companies.

Cons

Unsanitary working environment, they have you search through bags and boxes of clothes that are extremely dirty and even when your not searching through clothes, your putting sell-able clothes that were in the bags of the dirty clothes on to racks. They make you work hard and except you to be running around and standing for 8 hours on end with a 30 minute break. Also, they do not round your hours if you work from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and take a 30 minute break they count it as 7.5 hours instead of rounded it to the 8 hours your scheduled.

Pros

Discounts on overpriced used items

Cons

Very similar to being in an abusive relationship, they work you so hard that you are too exhausted to look for a better job. They demand respect but don't respect their employees. When Big heads come to visit, it's a big fat lie. They wait til day of visit to push even harder to look good, but goes back the normal BS. Favoritism is high on their list. They believe the employees are stupid and not capable of researching California Laws for overtime. Working conditions are poor, wonder what OSHA would say?

Pros

Value Village hires different kinds of people - doesn't matter if you have tattoos, piercings, a weird haircut, etc ... which is good thing, in my opinion. It wasn't as sales-focused as other retail jobs are - you only really give customer service at the cash. You don't have to approach people, which is nice. If you have experience you get a bonus - otherwise minimum wage. The discount was awesome though.

Cons

The customers were mostly good, but some were awful, trying to get things for dirt cheap. They could be rude and even yell at you if they thought things were overpriced. The cash registers were old and outdated, making using promotions and coupons hell. The donation bell ringing every 5 seconds was annoying. Dirt and dust get up in your nose no matter where you are in the store. Bathrooms were gross.
