      Going downhill

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Customers are fun, always new product, work with an energetic team, corporate meeting for all store managers yearly.

      Cons

      Drama brought in by district manager, payroll continues to get tighter yearly with higher customer service expectations. Always rearranging displays. For example moving most of a department 3 times in 5 weeks Currently experiencing lot of corporate turnover.

      Pros

      The discount is worth it, the coworkers are like family, tons of fun, creative freedom

      Cons

      You get little to no hours unless you're a manager. You are worked like a slave to get minimum wage and are given 4-6 hour shifts unless it's Christmas season. There were weeks where I would get 2, 4 hours shifts and I was supposed to be satisfied with that. They expect you to get an extreme amount of work done with no time. When you're the only only cashier in the building you are also expected to be on the floor cleaning or stocking. Hours are given by the upper management to divide among their numerous employees. Upper management would screw stores over if they did not get enough surveys, meet their quotas for the day, etc.

      Stop gap at best

      Key holder

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Every day presents a new challenge, and there is not much restriction on letting your natural personality stand out. The associates are a huge melting pot, and less robotic and conformed then required by more companies.

      Cons

      The work loads are often to much, the value of pay for the effort asked is simply not there. Issues at store levels, are not taken sincerely. Hours given is almost a joke (30 associates with half averaging 6 hours)
