Pros

The community is okay. The other employees have empathy and stick up for each other, we help each other out. We were well trained and some of the managers do a good job while also maintaining respect for the employees and a sense of humor. You learn a lot of different skills, so it beefs up your resume a little. You get access to a lot of neat deals and generally the culture there seems lighter and less strict than a lot of workplaces. A good source of pocket money but you can't really plan for independence with these kind of wages and hours.

Cons

Short hours. Low pay. You will come to hate the word 'rewards'. Cheap and exploitative strategies--scheduling people for 4 hour 45 minute shifts for maximum work with minimum breaks. Hiring new people when current people can barely get hours, is not a strategy to create workplace contentment. Complaining about lack of customer service when we have a skeleton crew and are barely managing to cover the vital bases. Employee discount is a measly ten percent. Part time means 8 hours a week sometimes.

Pros

Other associates are the only reason i work there. I love the clothes.

Cons

this is the most disorganized Run place there's no consistency. The main store managers most awful woman I've ever met she's constantly yelling at people berating them making you feel belittled. if you do something right its not appreciated or noticed if you do something wrong they definitely notice. Those stupid credit cards...

Pros

Weekly pay. Very cultural building. If you're lucky you'll meet some pretty decent people. A good opportunity for young people to get their feet on the ground and get the experience necessary to take somewhere else.

Cons

Micromanagement. Absolutely no support from supervisors/management. You're forced to do other people's jobs. Oh, and did I mention that they hire felons and shady people? No bonuses. Terrible raises building wide. The building closes during their "slow time" which means your forced to go home and use your personal/sick/vacation time to cover it. Or you choose to receive no pay. There are absolutely no opportunities for advancement/promotion,however, they pride themselves in promising you there is. Management doesn't know left from right. They bark orders but don't support anyone on their team. The associates that they hire are almost entirely from different countries. They work them like dogs and pay them terribly. Half of those associates are more hard working/intelligent than the arrogant pigs in management, however, they don't give them opportunities to show it.
