Pros

Flexible hours sometimes. Customers are nice.

Cons

I'm honestly tired of getting chewed out by management. They really have used any tiny mistake to grill me that they can find. 13 and hour to be micro managed and reamed just isn't worth it. This really is a hostile place to work. These are the most angry people I've ever worked with in a retail setting before. Two hours of training. No point of moving up, low roof retail... You make 13 or 14 an hour depending on if your a lead or not.

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
