Pros

Coworkers are so nice, paid holidays, time and a half on Sundays, insurance benefits, discount, nice atmosphere, nice break room.

Cons

Terrible schedules with "TESS". Yes,it's retail, but 5 hours before a lunch break? very typical schedule is come in at 9am, go to lunch at 2pm. I ate breakfast at 7:30. That's 6 1/2 hours without eating! Holy Cow, some of my coworkers aren't breakfast eaters. Working until 6pm instead of 5pm? Working 9 days in a row? There is no work-life balance now that a computer does schedules. Also, some people get preferential treatment. And, sadly, we can no longer go to lunch with coworkers in same department because lunch/dinner breaks are always staggered.When you get off at 6pm, and it takes 30 minutes to get home, and then you have to cook for your family, it's 7:30 before you sit down to eat, and your feet are killing you...just change it back to 5pm already, please!!!!! Besides, part-time peaople don't want to come in for 3 hours (6-9pm) either!

Pros

The pay is decent when you have commission added on Getting holidays off is nice Some fellow employees became really good friends Discount was nice

Cons

Management was a big downfall, they seemed far too buddy buddy with each other and cared more about taking a lunch break with pizza together then being on the floor dealing with their employees or customers. When it comes to a customers word or an associates, they take the customers hands down even if it is ridiculous. Covering in other departments was never something anyone wanted to do or were good at doing, you take away someone knowledgeable about their department to a department they know nothing about and make them try to help customers. The turnover rate in employees should give you a hint you are doing something wrong.
