Pros

Discounts and stress free (mentally). Brain dead job in lower ladder of the the job triangle. Some of the people are great to work with (very friendly). Pretty organized- in a sense of team work.

Cons

The pay is low. Alot of exercise (walking and standing the whole day besides your 15 minute breaks every 2 hours of work). Rude customers (one of those days). Some employees take advantage of other employees doing less work with same pay. AND OF COURSE the BIG ISSUE of ALL JOBS is POLITICS. you will have to BROWN NOISE, KISS A$$, you've heard it all.

Pros

Well, it's nice and laid back for the most part. Everyone seems to get along pretty well. Also, if you pay attention to the merchandise, you can find some really good clearance deals. The stores seem fairly clean, I haven't had any problems in that regard. It's generally OK.

Cons

They don't pay nearly enough. I would like more hours, but unfortunately (sign of the times) they keep trying to reduce the hours for all the employees and keep the payroll in check. Oh well. Also, I want full time hours so I can get proper medical/dental/vision benefits...that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

Pros

it's a job. there are some good people that i work with. some positions provide steady schedules. a few are rotating weekends and one night a week. it's not that bad for scheduling. there are a lot of people that use it as a second job.

Cons

lack of internal promotional opportunities beyond a department manager (team leader). paying external hire's more than internal promotions. The largest downside is how they cut payroll/hours, yet raise the bar for positive scores for everything. favoritism is rampant in stores. no matter how poor a performer, he/she/it will get a better review then you. get used to it.
