Pros

1.) the people they have hired are great-generally hard working and team oriented. 2.) stable business in a rocky retail environment

Cons

1.) inflexible and archaic-Ross has decided that we learned nothing through the pandemic. Apparently you are not working hard unless you are sitting at your desk in the office. They want everyone punching a clock 4 days a week in the office and you can be remote only on Fridays. 2.) zero work life balance anymore. Everyone needs your schedule. If you have a doctors appt or your kiddo has a school concert you need approval from everyone to work from home. 3.) Rolling back benefits-first no bonuses paid for 2022, then they have scaled back days off we had last year and now the roll back of a hybrid working schedule. 4.) Micromanaging from senior management. Apparently we cannot do anything independently anymore and we need to add meetings to our calendars and have more oversight over all decisions.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
