Pros

>Friendly assistant managers >Coworkers are very helpful >Employee discount (20% off clothes, 10% off everything else unless its on sale) >Benefits even for part time employees

Cons

>Store managers are a revolving door who chance everything around to their liking even if it throws everyone else off >minimum wage pay and raises are nearly impossible to get >Part timers are treated much better than full timers even if they have been there much longer >Receiving associates seem to get the blame for everything >The district managers are very condescending and tend to pick apart flaws even when things are looking mostly good. >Unfair call off policy. You need to call in 24 hours before your shift starts or its counted as an "Infraction" which if you get six of them you get fired. They expect you to be a psychic and know you are gonna feel sick the next morning. >Loyal workers are taken for granted and not recognized for putting up with a lot of aggravation on a daily basis. >The mystery shoppers reports are too harshly judged. Even if we get an overall good score, the one bad thing is highlighted and circled with a permanent marker as if its getting shoved in our faces.

Pros

tasks were simple, and easy to do. some managers are nice and understanding. No real experience or degree needed to work there.

Cons

job can be very repetitive. higher positions open slowly, but you may not be qualified to pursue them. schedules vary. cashier pay is meager, but it's a job none the less
