Pros

You’ll get hours, if you’re favored and have no other ambitions.

Cons

Management will harass you but if you speak up, then they react with retaliation. Corporate is no help either, they will interrogate you and make you feel like a criminal for speaking up against management. My supervisor shot down all of my ideas to help the store and the ideas he did use, they gossiped behind my back about. He was also notorious for flirting with young girls and being touchy. Not to mention he was having an affair with the AP manager, who then tried to accuse me of stealing when I pointed out their affair.

Pros

Started at $15.50. Commission is 2%. Potential to move up, but they are not scared to let people go.

Cons

They don’t mention that your position could change every single day if a different department is busier. So you could apply and get hired for chat, then in training you’re trained on phones. Then when you’re done with training, you’re back in chat. Not fully remote. Upper management does not care about your opinion(or you) in the slightest.

Pros

There is opportunities to move up. Full-time and Part-timers get free education now. Colleagues in sales positions like jewelry, fragrance, beauty, and home get commissions and bonuses.

Cons

Management roles need more bias training in all subjects in my opinion (Race, Age, and Sex). It should happen quarterly or at least twice a year to remind them as leaders they need to be fair to all colleagues. Managers tend to have favorites, I noticed this from working at more than one location. For example hiring only Spanish speaking colleagues over potential hires that speak other languages and English (or have heavy accents) and on top of that have current Spanish speaking colleagues to be their fulltime translator with no pay increase. They have a new system where ALL colleagues can work in any department. So basically more work and no pay increase. So if you're back of house they can throw you into cashier training whether you're comfortable with it or not. To cover breaks and to just help with long lines. You wont reap any sales benefits unless someone signs up for a credit card which is rare especially when you're lack training.
