Pros

Clean, organized work environment, paid weekly

Cons

Very niche kind of environment. If you are new, employees are rude and shun you. They treat you as if you have to "earn your stripes." Management is lackluster and treat you like a child, even if you are a seasoned retail worker. Overall, a very immature, high school clique kind of environment unless you prove your knowledge and worth to fellow employees and management.

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.
