If you're not willing to be Target and your Team Leader/Manager's available and willing 24/7 slave, run the other way.

Pros

Transparent pay Some varied benefits

Cons

Management favoritism Biased Hiring/Firing/Promotions Management lying and pressuring employees concerning 90 days call outs, sick days/time off rules, constant verbal badgering by superiors (Head of Store, Randy, and most 'Team Leaders' included) ongoing issue with playing in people's faces. Unnecessarily stressful work environment for all, especially new hires. Point system being implemented to auto fire if you get 3 points, regardless of length of employment, despite turnover rate in relation to attendance is at all time lows, with whole departments calling out at a time on a constant. Not a very inspiring or friendly environment at all, despite what's promoted and shoved down team members throats constantly.

Friendly staff and easy work, but management issues persist

Pros

The work is easy, the pay was fine for what it is, and the staff are friendly mostly. There were some benefits offered to those who stuck around.

Cons

There was a clear precedent of management versus staff and front-of-store versus back-of-store. I was misled upon being hired about the yearly pay raises which was a large part of why I accepted the offer (I was told I was hired too late in the season to be considered for a raise despite being one of the strongest in my department).
