Pros

None- company makes it sound like retail nirvana when that couldn't be further from the truth. The entire culture is a farse

Cons

Worst management, in the back room 90% of the time. Company culture is a joke. They will not hire or promote any color other than white to a management position. Most racist company on the planet.

Pros

Great discount, fun product. Overall great employees that you work with. Good company values and employee first culture, it just gets watered down at the local store level. Casual dress code. Usually set hours for full time with some exceptions.

Cons

Since going public the company culture has really changed and is going down hill rapidly. It's much more numbers driven than it ever has been. Company doesn't have an HR dept to protect employee's so watch out if you don't "drink the Kool-aid". Not much room for advancement unless you are willing to play the politics game.

Pros

Great coworkers on the prime time team

Cons

I recently went from being a full-time employee to a prime time (part-time employee), and after being with the company a little over a year, I left emotionally battered. The management team was quick to tell me when I was struggling but offered no specific feedback or direction. After finding out my role was being eliminated, I was left feeling insecure about my career path and my future with TCS. I left for another position that is far less stressful, with much better pay and benefits, and it was the best decision I could have made.
