Pros

Good pay..good discount i have meet alot of great people that I work with. Most of them are not there long, it takes a certain kind of personality to deal with working for this company.

Cons

Too many hours on your feet without a break cause they are too cheap to pay for 2 -15 minute breaks. Being treated like a child . Having to try to make your goals while doing stock, markdowns (which are done so stupid), cleaning etc... This company is just poorly run. I don't have a degree and I can see all the mistakes they make, one of the worst is letting the store managers have free rein over thier store, make up the rules as they go.Unfortunately I am not in a postion to leave this miserable place

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
