Pros

Honestly before being bought out by Sycamore there were multiple pros. Upper management was not the best and ultimately why I think it was sold but it had always found a way.

Cons

Trying to compete with Macy’s from an infrastructure stand point and it’s just not a winning strategy. Blaze your own trail and quit being a follower. Especially of a company that has a failing strategy.

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.
