Pros

The other employees can be nice.

Cons

Long uneeded hours, low pay, terrible schedule, switched and baited us and lied about our pay. Incompetent management that had no congruency. They hold you hostage at night in the building and everyone needs to walk out at the same time. That adds a half hr of just sitting around for no reason onto your already very long day. You have to take a full hour lunch. There we go wasting more time. No one wants to get out at 9pm in the winter especially after being there since 10 am. Management lies and they lied about our wage. When we were were hired they told all of us we would be making a dollar more after 90 days. Once we hit after our 90 day mark we were all waiting but it never happened. They then back peddled and said it was only if certain numbers were hit. What a scam and a lie. I am not even sure baiting and switching salaries is legal? Your manager will never schedule themselves to close because they also do don’t like being held hostage at night. So be prepared for really long hours and low pay. You will also never make your numbers so you will never see a raise. But this joke of a sales position will have your going over unattainable numbers eveey month with your manager who is the only person that may see a little money if certain goals are met. They will want you to work hard bit you will never see a red cent for your contribution and hard work. Have fun with that!! Worse dead end job imaginable.

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
