Ross Stores reviews

No recognition, everything that is done is criticized. It's not really "all about the people" as senior leadership believes. No work life balance. Sometimes most of us are handling our own position as well as other vacant positions.

*Lack of payroll *No room for growth unless you suck-up to upper management *If you have open availability you will pretty much work every single weekend! *As a FES I had to work every Sunday 11 am-9 pm *We only had 4 full time spots and I only got promoted when the past FES got fired. When I started out as FES I wasn't on register to much and was able to do my job the way the management wanted me to do. I actually felt like I was doing something worth while. When the company had the bright idea of making the FES the head cashier only then did it go down hill. As a FES I was in charge of all of my cashiers, ringing up on my register, handling all customer service questions(*ie discounts for stains, holds for things, price checks), handling the employees breaks, making sure that the employees where doing what needed to be done, getting change for my other cashiers, cleaning up the back counter, looking out for theft, and all while getting paid less then $8 bucks! It just got to be to stressful and I couldn't do it anymore. I seriously wonder if any other FES at Ross had a similar problems as I did?! They put way to much on there full time employees and expect them to be perfect! I never got anything done but cashiering and the front ended up falling apart because I wasn't able to be as organized as I once was. The star cards are worthless and only are giving out by sucking up to the management.
