Pros

The management was very understanding of my situation as a working mom, and worked with me when I may have had scheduling issues. At one point I had a family issue come up and I was allowed to take a week off with short notice. They also put an emphasis on employee ideas to make things better, which made me feel like part of the bigger picture.

Cons

Sometimes the customers bordered on the unsavory side so I had to always look out for theft, which may be an issue that all retail stores unfortunately must deal with. There was a definate pattern of new hires not lasting, but the employees who were long term were there for years.

We work hard to make sure our pay and benefits are competitive in all markets. We take all feedback seriously and have shared your comments with our compensation team for further evaluation.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
