Pros

-The management team and staff gets to really know you. You feel as you're part of the team immediately and it feels great as a first retail job. -The hours pass by very quickly. - The pay is reasonable for high school students/ college students as a temporary job (if working part time).

Cons

- The hours, the hours, the hours. If there's a slight change in schedule, your request could be denied, leaving you with no choice but to continue working or have to leave. - Hours are very unstable. Could be scheduled to work for 3 days with very limited hours and the following week would be every day. Hard to get around and used to when there are primary concerns. - There was barely any training and thrown right onto the field. It isn't bad if you're a quick learner, but for those who aren't, it can be challenging. - Customers > Employees

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.
