Pros

They have benefits that include paid time off which is rare these days. Also, there are many departments you can move to if you want a change.

Cons

I wish they were more competitive in overall pay rates compared to places like Macy's. I would make it a long-term career if so.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
