Pros

I’ve worked for this company for a long time. Grassroots employee and worked my way up. I really enjoy working with people, our merchandise, and most of the customers. The benefits are decent, 401k plan is great, and bonuses as a manger can be really good if your store does well in sales

Cons

HR sucks. Plain and simple. Incredibly useless and when a real problem with personnel complaints or harassment is brought to their attention, they turn the other cheek. Transfers are botched, and it’s hard to even get a reply back sometimes for weeks on end.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
