Simply Awesome

Pros

My coworkers are just awesome. Everyone is friendly and my supervisors are great as well. The job itself is really light, majority is cashiering which I like along with some light hanging clothing/fixing up the store. Probably the easiest, most laid back job I've had.

Cons

The only thing that I don't like are some of the customers. The sheer cheapness astounds me at times when I'm on the till and theft is very common. People leave their own clothing and rip of the tags of our stuff and just leave with it. It's very common. The starting pay isn't that great either ($10 with no experience, $11 with experience) But the positives outweigh the negatives most definitely.

Wouldn't Recommend

Pros

Great discount on clothing, shoes, and bed & bath departments Work with very dedicated, hard working employees Full-time benefits if you're lucky...

Cons

Not able to purchase items until 48 hours after items hit sales floor. You're out of luck on the good stuff Antiquated technology, registers are at least 30 years old, hand written gift certificates, void slips, scheduling done on a spread sheet Doctor's note required any time you are sick. Leave work early - get a doctor's note, sick on the job? first aid cabinets are filled with OTC stuff your supervisor/manager will tell you to take something and stick it out. Going to school? Scheduling will not be flexible - management is not supportive of higher learning. Full-time status? Management owns you, will say the "business needs you" You'll never see your SM unless you're called in for disciplinary action or if she is coming into or leaving the store

Questionable ethics

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Helping NFP partners, recycling, value to the local community as an employer of "at-risk' and marginalized citizens, value pricing.

Cons

Poor pay, questionable business ethics, abusive employment practices. Few pay improvement opportunities for hourly TMs, restrictive attendance and sick policies, arbitrary hiring and termination practices, no functional marketing plan. Some blatant discriminatory practices tolerated or encouraged by upper management.
