Pros

30% discount stores across the U.S. except upper east coast = potential for work in new location awesome variety of products food, wine, furniture, bath, art, collectibles... "management" wages are good

Cons

not enough staff to ensure good customer service = lower sales= less payroll $....anyone else see a bad cycle with this? stock rooms are over-crowded, hard to find anything and dangerous heavy lifting - this is a very physical job

Pros

Fun atmosphere, chill coworkers, decent discount, I could come to work do my job & there was no drama. I worked there seasonally during Christmas and loved it, they didn’t keep me on after cause I was one of the last hires and they had to cut like 30% of the seasonal staff so I was bummed. The manager was nice, so were the assistant managers. Customers were chill, thanked us a lot for being there. Got some good stuff between sales and discount.

Cons

Not enough hours which I knew before I started, cash registers could use some updating
