Pros

- Coworkers become some of your best friends

Cons

At the King of Prussia in Pa location we were over worked. I was working part time and working almost 40 hours a week. We would get in trouble even if we stepped off the floor to get some water. They management clearly had their favorites. Some managers would make out of pocket statements that shouldn’t have been allowed in the work place. It was mostly 16–20 years old working and they wouldnt allow us to talk to each other even if we were still working at the same time. If they saw us talking they would move us so no one was around us and the list goes on. Overall poor treatment. 0/10 would not recommend.

Pros

Met some of the best folks I have ever known to this day.

Cons

Everything. There is too much micromanagement, the staff feels suffocated and unrealistic expectations are forced upon them. We barely had staff for the shop floor and even then they were cannibalised.

Pros

Staff was nice, easy interview, loved helping customers and made some friends there too

Cons

Sometimes the managers think you are robots. It gets boring doing the same thing every day. I spent a year and a bit folding the same clothes and when I asked to do something else other than folding they put me back on a folding table.
