Pros

The only pros are the great pay and benefits. I would not recomend this job to anyone, not even my worst enemies.

Cons

Physical work load. Negative working enviroment. Not an adequite amount of time alotted to complete the given tasks. Scrutenized for each and every mistake. Upper management was very unprofessional. Gossip was apart of the every day enviroment. Associates knew about my mistakes before I did because there was no confidentiality policy in place and the store manager felt it was okay to complain about me and use negative comments about me around other employees. I wouldnt recomend this job to anyone that has thin skin. You will be bullied and expected to put up with it because you are payed so well. I was released without any warning so if your looking for a stable job this isn't the place for you. I had zero warning and zero documentation stating what I had done wrong. Im not writing this out of spite, the management was really good at running the floor but not so well at managing and building a team. I was scared for my job each and every day and I never once was latrle and never once called out, which reminds me when I was ill and showed up to work dizzy and throwing up at my store they got angry at me for being sick? I never had such a negative experience in all my years in the workforce.

Pros

Its ok for pay. Benefits are great

Cons

If you are not straight out of school you will not be able to move up in the company. If you jave experience but do not get hired right out of college you are stuck as an assistant. So many assistants have degrees but will never move. The onexperience of the college students is they do not treat people with respect.

Pros

The pay is great. Benefits are good. Fairly straightforward job responsibilities. Fast paced and with the right staff can be a great work environment.

Cons

This company has very little concern for a work life balance. They operate on minimal staff so they can save money even when it doesn't meet the needs of the business or customer focus. It all falls on the SM. Stay longer, come in extra days. They don't care.
