Pros

Decent work environment. They don't work you too hard. Got a free t-shirt.

Cons

You're expected to multitask, which is a bit of a problem if you're asked to put t-shirts on the back wall while being the only person on register. They eventually stopped giving me hours because they hired a bunch of people to help move the location, but instead of making it a "seasonal" hire, all of them were part-time then eventually stopped getting hours. I would have preferred just being hired "seasonally" for a few weeks to not getting hours but still technically being employed.

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
