Pros

The management was very understanding of my situation as a working mom, and worked with me when I may have had scheduling issues. At one point I had a family issue come up and I was allowed to take a week off with short notice. They also put an emphasis on employee ideas to make things better, which made me feel like part of the bigger picture.

Cons

Sometimes the customers bordered on the unsavory side so I had to always look out for theft, which may be an issue that all retail stores unfortunately must deal with. There was a definate pattern of new hires not lasting, but the employees who were long term were there for years.

We hear you, thanks for sharing. Difficult customers can be a challenge for all retailers. We do train all Associates on how to handle and diffuse difficult customer situations, create an environment were theft is minimized, and ensure that other customers are not negatively impacted. We work hard to make sure our pay and benefits are competitive in all markets. We take all feedback seriously and have shared your comments with our compensation team for further evaluation.

Pros

the discounts, if you work there you gain the experience in retail and if you work some where else, it will be seen as a piece of cake!!! Ross is like a training ground!

Cons

the pay is not good, work schedule is not good, too much gosiping insted of working, too much strained work, the custumers are very very rude more than usual at any other place I have worked in.
