Pros

Great employees to work with. Only pro.

Cons

Everything! The company keeps changing rules and policies. Cheap pay for the amount of work. They are liars and not transparent. Toxic management. Overwork the good employees. Desperate so they hire anyone. They dont listen to your scheduling so they either give you barely any hours or so many hours. Check employees belongings instead of customers which means they have no trust in their workers.

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
