Pros

Pay is decent as are the benefits. Most stores have numerous associates working under specific job titles for specific tasks ie: pricing and signing, swarm, replenishment etc. which allows most sales associates to focus on the customer.

Cons

Open door policy is a joke. The company Human Resources pay lip service to associate complaints and laying off over 2000 associates and managers so far this year while senior executives received multi million dollar bonuses make this a company to stay away from.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
