Pros

Generally easy work that isnt soul crushing.

Cons

My managers never knew who I was, when I asked for last schedule I was told I wouldnt be working anymore than when I dodnt show up the next day (whoch part of the next schedule) I was told I was on the schedule and asked why I didnt show up. The pay wasnt great at 8.50/hr. And I never had to but other friends said time off was impossible to be approved for.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
