Pros

discounts tend to be fair

Cons

obnoxious credit programs expected to be available from open to close with an unbalanced work schedule (could be working mornings, mid-day and closing shifts within any given week) Sales, Coupons, Promos and twice daily price changes gives a flea market effect, causing people to constantly barter lower prices for their purchases...which they get.

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.
