Pros

Discounts are great, especially on a 40% off sales for employees, you can find some good stuff in the store for yourself.

Cons

Slave labor is what comes to mind. They don't schedule nowhere near enough people trying to save 8$ per hour on payroll. You're stuck doing enourmous amounts of work all by yourself, and expectations of you are as of some superhuman.The lines are increadiably long, people treat store and you like crap because its a discount store. You're supposed to get everything done in your area by 10 pm at closing, in reality night shift has to stay until 11-11:30 pm just to clean and get everything done. I wouldn't recommend anyone going for a temporary job at Ross, exept maybe loss prevention. Those guys have it EASY, 10$ per hour and virtually no work, just stay awake.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
