Pros

It is a job. Neat stuff to play with at work 25% discount on purchases Fellow employees were good people. If you like to stay busy, work in shoes or the lodge. Easy, simple work.

Cons

Constant complaining from employees about management and company policy. The left hand does not know what the right is doing. Lower level managers have no real clue what the store manager has in mind. Their prices are high...and they do not always match prices. Makes things tough to sell to a knowledgeable consumer. The goal of management is to make the store looks full, even though they have the same thing scattered everywhere. I was a temporary employee. When that ends, expect a bum's rush to the door. Definitely at will employment. Constantly asked to push socks. "Sir, along with you new shotgun, could I interest you in a pair of socks to keep the barrel warm?" Constantly on feet, find comfy shoes.

Pros

Employee Discount Access to Expert voice, which seems like no one tells you about, That's about it.

Cons

The biggest problem is there's no defined end to the night. We're scheduled until 9pm, but it's become normal to stay an hour, two hours, sometimes even longer past that because leadership keeps adding more tasks and finding new things to fix after everything is already done. It feels like the goalposts constantly move. My availability hasn't always been respected, communication has been poor, and there's a huge difference in accountability between employees. The people who work hard and stay busy all night end up staying just as late as the people standing around talking or doing nothing. Instead of addressing the actual productivity issues, everyone gets held hostage until leadership decides the store is finally good enough. I've worked retail for years, and every other place I've worked had a clear definition of what needed to be done before you could leave. Here, it feels like there is no finish line, which makes it impossible to plan your life around a part-time job. The discount and perks are nice, but the lack of consistency, the constantly changing expectations, and the uncertainty about when you're actually going home have made the job a lot more frustrating than it needs to be. If you're thinking about working here and want to work night shifts, plan on staying well past your scheduled end time until someone tells you it's "ok to leave". I was told I needed to ask for permission before clocking out, great leadership skills.
