      Pros

      The discount is worth it, the coworkers are like family, tons of fun, creative freedom

      Cons

      You get little to no hours unless you're a manager. You are worked like a slave to get minimum wage and are given 4-6 hour shifts unless it's Christmas season. There were weeks where I would get 2, 4 hours shifts and I was supposed to be satisfied with that. They expect you to get an extreme amount of work done with no time. When you're the only only cashier in the building you are also expected to be on the floor cleaning or stocking. Hours are given by the upper management to divide among their numerous employees. Upper management would screw stores over if they did not get enough surveys, meet their quotas for the day, etc.

      Pros

      -20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

      Cons

      -store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
