Pros

They hire anyone with a pulse.

Cons

The job pays pennies. This is one of the lowest paying jobs I ever had the displeasure of working for. Hours will get cut if you do not sell enough credit cards. One week you’ll have 35 hours next week only 12 then week after that you’ll get 6 hours. Managers stand behind you the entire 8 hour shift at cash register telling you to sell more credit cards. If you sell enough credit cards they treat you like a queen and you’re allowed to do whatever you want. Meaning not doing your job, leaving a mess behind for other workers to clean because you are the credit card champion. You can be amazing in your department but if you aren’t selling credit cards you will have your hours cut and they will keep hiring more and more people and giving your hours to them instead. Also certain mangers have zero people skills, they’re either really young coordinators or their above that. And they have a temper problem. If I’m honest I felt too old being there, almost like a babysitter half the time. A lot of the folks they hire are High School kids working their first job, while complaining they don’t want to be there and hiding in the dressing room so they can scroll on their phones. Or they’re older and don’t even need the job, just working to get out the house. It’s not a job for young adults looking to make actual income.

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
