Pros

Flexible hours for college students. Good employee discount program. The work truly is easy.

Cons

Lazy employees continue to work unless they steal something. You are expected to sell, yet the stores aren't given control of the inventory ordered so frequently the most demanded products are never in stock and products no one wants, you receive extra, until it goes on clearance. Managers are all about receiving the recognition for themselves. Payroll is always low, yet they come out with a new planagram every few weeks requiring big department moves, while you are supposed to be focused on the customer.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
