Pros

My time working here the environment was cool, mild and peaceful

Cons

Working as the APS, the directives given to abide by and perform isn’t ideal in the real world. Very lack luster and too high expectations with not realistic outcomes. The company claim there isn’t a “quota” to make apprehensions or stop thieves; but had an expectation of catching 1 person per day. Also the type of merchandise recovered played a huge role. Some items didn’t meet the metrics and wouldn’t be looked as “a good recovery”.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
