Pros

My location was of a moderate size but was updated to include White Barn within a month of my hiring - They care for great customer service. - Great pay for work And that’s it...

Cons

Not enough hours—I was promised more hours when we moved to the larger store. Did not happened. In fact, I had much more of a consistent schedule in the older location than now. And their new favorite hobby? Not scheduling me AT ALL. And when I do get scheduled, management loves to ”give me the day off.” If you're not busy enough to justify having enough people on the floor, that fine. But, when I went on for my first shift in weeks I was flabbergasted that they had hired an army who were getting CONSISTENT HOURS. Now, I don't know if it is a man issue, an LGBT+ issue, or if it's plain old racism, but don't bother with this company. Now that I put in more thought it might be a man thing I was one out of two men working at that location, but the training was geared toward women...

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
