Pros

Some managers are very helpful

Cons

First of all, when you finally start the job, there is a series of training that you undergo, but you always seem to find yourself being lost not knowing what to do because they tend to give a crash course, where after you would always need to be asking for help. The management is Terrible, they claim that the schedules would be flexible, but they often schedule a person on the days that they are not available and then the would give you a hard time when you need to call out on that certain day. Sometimes it seems as if they do not care about there employees, for example when we had a snow storm, many where stuck at the location due to the fact that not every single person drives, many people depend on public transportation and at a certain time during a storm the buses and trains shut down but they were stuck at the job and had to either take an uber or find a ride home. Many people also notice the level of favoritism that is shown at the Job, there are so many instances where certain people get away with actions that are not allowed at the Job and so many people notice it, but cannot do anything about it, which is very unfair for so many employees.

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
