Pros

Fellow employees were nice and respectful and hard working.

Cons

Silly, to the point of being stupid, the drill they put you through every shift start. Store Management ,at the directive of upper management make the SPS (Loss Prevention) repeat what they do, and repeat their job description EVERY SINGLE SHIFT START. I have never had a job where I had to repeat what I do to my manager every single day. They treat you like a child and as if you are stupid. You are only allowed to walk the floor once an hour and then only if you can find an associate to stand in your place for 10 min's., which is very hard, most of the time.25 hours a week is all they allow you to work. Are you kidding me?!

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.
