Pros

I enjoy helping customers and we sell good merchandise and have a nice store. I work with some really great people as well.

Cons

The pay is bad compared to other similar jobs in the area. The hours are unpredictable and you can go from 30+ hours a week to just a few in no time. People in positions of power seem to be on power trips and enjoy berating their employees. Credit and e-mail and making money is all the management team cares about. Customers are nicer to me than some of my coworkers.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
