Pros
My coworkers (peers) were friendly, our 20% discount was raised a few times per year, dress code was relatively relaxed.
Cons
I have worked retail for nearly 5 years and at many establishments over 2 different states, and Beall's was by far the most demeaning and poorly run. I was lied to when hired, and told I would be trained in all departments/positions. Instead, I was always scheduled on registers, while also being expected to put away returns, clean fitting rooms, and process truck at the same time. The lack of training was astounding, as management would scold me as though I was a child frequently over very specific, minor things no one had told me prior because I had received very little (almost no) training. Customers are allowed to verbally abuse employees and are encourage to come back. I was never allowed to take breaks or lunches while working for Beall's, while the store manager at my location would go outside once every hour for smoke breaks on top of the lunches she was allowed. Morale is low, wages are even lower, and a better employment opportunity can be found at literally any other retailer.
