Pros

Hours can increase quickly, with much advanced requested time off -it is granted, do not need assistance in overrides, pretty busy/consistent loyal customers, if you like retail it's absolutely for you. Good about working around school schedules (college)

Cons

Hours can dwindle easily, customers take advantage of reward points and end up returning a lot of merchandise, not meeting monthly sales demands are detrimental to hourly wages (stupid). i work part-time but get full time hours because i was told at hire that there could be no more full time hires. i go from 19 to 41 hours in a week _ paycheck equals gas money.

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.
