Pros

Good associate discount 20% off apparel even clearance and sale merchandise. 10%off everything else. They will work with you on your availability.

Cons

Low pay $6.90 an hour, current freeze on wages. Must be able to get customers to sign credit card applications. Required to meet quotas on credit card applications or your hours will suffer. If you do not get very many credit apps they will eventually take you off schedule altogether. Too many longtimers that create a hostile environment and scare off new employees. They treat new hires like they have the plague.

Pros

Good team and good compensation

Cons

The contract is only for 30 days, so it needs to be renewed every month, and we always lose access during the process. This creates some uncertainty for us.
