Pros

The creative elements of the job are outstanding, you learn in a fast past environment and can merchandised departments through your own ideas. Window displays are an amazing addition.

Cons

Hours are awful. Pay is awful. Management is horrendously bad through bullying staff & making everyones life as miserable as possible.

Pros

* Supportive and professional coworkers. * Some management communicated clearly when helpful.

Cons

* Management inconsistency and favoritism (e.g., being targeted based on relationships). * Poor enforcement of policies; managers sometimes ignored issues or their own rules. * Scheduling mistakes and lack of support for PTO requests. * Lack of timely communication regarding terminations or disciplinary actions. * Instances of management making false assumptions or accusations. * Safety and security policies inconsistently applied. * Concerns with accountability and responsibility for tasks (e.g., spot checks, projects). * Cashiers often have to deal with rude customers due to lack of paper bags or management “saving” them for later, leading to stressful and sometimes emotional situations.
