Pros

The “set” schedule of 7-3 Monday-Friday with random Saturday or sundays

Cons

Switched DM and DVM 5 times in 3 years.... still haven’t gotten PTO payout (have now been gone a month) after fulfilling two week notice.. Required to execute floorsets with no additional merchandising hours.. When having problems with other managers, upper management would not help resolve any issues and was lied to several times. Would also be told one way to merchandise from regional managers but told a completely different thing from district managers. I could keep going and going. I have worked at 6 different retail stores and this company is the absolute worst one! The PTO sucks and no sick time.
