      Long hours, fairly low pay and one incompetent store team lead

      Pros

      Ok pay for executives, even though at our store we were far more underpayed than at others in the area. They gave us a lot of freedom when it came to recognizing our team members.

      Cons

      LONG hours. Once you get something done right, there will be new expectations. If an endcap needs to be set and you've already been there for 12 hours, the store manager will make you set it before going home. And don't count on help from your team members since there are not enough to get the job done. Best part was that from a number of execs the yearly bonus was taken away by reducing our review score far below what we should have gotten based on our financial results.

      Pros

      A good seasonal second job.

      Cons

      Management suck. When calling in sick, they say that I wasn't trying hard enough and this is from a person who never called in sick in two years. I was told by a prior employee that they want you to come in, go to the bathroom and throw up and then come back and work. Can you believe it? Its true.

      Pros

      i like the employee discount and my coworkers in the area i work with. people are mostly happy to help and there’s a really nice solidarity in hating our jobs. also, sometimes there’s free snacks.

      Cons

      whoof, this’ll be a big one -horrible management (very strict/serious) -you get interrogated every time you call out -you’re expected to do more than what your wage is worth (i work in a smaller department with >10 people, so while being paid $15.25 i’m expected to run the entire show. whenever you’re unable to finish the extensive list of tasks, you get a stern talking to) -underpaid overworked -feelings of hopelessness -manipulative speech by the interviewer (meaning that they’ll suggest things will happen that never do) -did i mention underpaid? -busy day? you can either focus on guest service and neglect your other duties, or focus on your other duties and risk caught not helping guests. anything less than 50-50 split will have your TL pulling you aside. -expected to do things you’ve never been trained on -i got two days of training before i was working a closing shift on my own -TLs will glare at you for chatting on the clock and then will go and chat on the clock -my TL is useless. literally does nothing but pretend to be busy while leaving the super tedious/boring things for me
