      Pros

      I have met the greatest people while working at TCS. However, none of these people happen to be part of the management staff.

      Cons

      Getting time off is a joke. Even if you have someone to cover your shift they will still deny you or give you a hard time. Also, there is absolutely no respect given to the employees from the "supervisors". They are rude, dismissive, and devoid of any value. You are also expected to read and respond to all emails, and seemingly on YOUR PERSONAL time, as they never schedule time for you to do so at work. Worst of all, there is currenty an imposed pay freeze and a fight for hours, but they CONTINUE to hire people!! I could go on, but it would take all night.

      Pros

      The pay rates are great for the retail industry. The quality of people that are hired is exceptional. The leaders of the company seem to be genuine and realistic about the times we are in and are trying new ideas to spark business. They may not always be the best solutions, but at least they are trying. The discount is the industry standard. An abundance of communication and openness accessable to every employee. Great philosophies for the companies core values. Taking care of the employees first will result in them taking care of the customers, which should translate to making a prophet.

      Cons

      The level of work and accountability is very unbalenced. The full time visual team is worked into the ground!! The full time sales staff...show-up, and be floor coverage. Senior management doesnt give the impression that they would roll up their sleeves and work by your side to get the job done. The visual team is under a lot of pressure, crazy hours and too many emails to manage. As payrole gets cut, its hard to keep up. Minimal amount of holidays, no personal days. The hiring process is insulting to the applicant. It is a waste of time and gasoline to have to go through what they do for nothing!
