Pros

discount, the associates I was able to hire on my own.

Cons

Very political. Upper management and Regional VPs don't care about anything but Instant Credits. If they don't like you, you're out of luck. If you're a terrible manager but they like you, then you will get ahead. No "thank you" EVER. As an ASM I had to cut associates pay who were dependable and would actually work, but gave raises to those that had terrible attendance(who we couldn't fire even though they have been written up over 10 times) and stood at the register. Hard workers were taken advantage of.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
