Pros

They understand your problems and work around it. It's like a second family each floor.

Cons

Working in a little back room sorting out odds and returns on the floor because you thought it would be a good idea not to put a changing room on 2nd floor with a shop that big you need a changing room on every floor the working conditions are really bad it's so cold on the floor in the little back room we have to were r coats and gloves we have boxes falling on us all the time cos the back room is were the delivery is kept I've worked for 10 years in this room and it's really bad the amount of times I have hurt myself and when health and safety comes in we have to pretend we don't work in this back room it's a a joke!

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
