Pros

Everything in the store is $5.00 or less and we carry great products with good quality, we carry items for adults and teens and children as well. We carry games, toys, electronics, and household goods all for $5.00 or less! we also have as seen on tv items and best of all we carry exercise weights and lots of sports equipment! I love the exercise equipment we carry as the quality is better than I expected!

Cons

People shopping there have no respect for the store and distroy it terribly! they open packages with no regards to the next person who may want to buy the item. They put items in places where they don't belong and it's a big proceess and alot of time wasted for the employees to clean the store (putting things where they go) we don't have the time to restock where needed because we are too busy putting items back in it's place!

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
