Pros

Not a single pro here...

Cons

Not a single Black MANAGER at this location! Constantly allow non-black employees to bend and break schedule rules. Managers extremly difficult towards black employees when it come to breaks and time off. Minority employees expected to pick up slack from privleged employees. If you are African American, avoid this biased location! Resigned due to vile nepotism, discrimination and work environment becoming hostile after almost 2 years.

If you start out on registers up front it can be difficult to learn on the floor and find a department especially if you are not selling enough credit cards and memberships

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
