Pros

-Knowing the clearance in the store the moment it happens. -Team Member Discount + Red Card savings = you don't pay tax! -BBQ days, free snacks in the breakroom (sometimes), friendly competitions between team members with prizes! -They do hand out recognition, and even when it's forced it still feels nice.

Cons

-The favoritism is ABSOLUTELY disgusting. -If you are not kissing someones behind, you will not go very far!!! -They expect you to work A LOT harder than humanly capable. On top of answering cash calls, covering someone who calls in sick every day, answering guest phone calls, helping guests in the store etc, etc.... -They don't fire people... period! You could get away with murder at this place. -You could call in sick for a quarter of your shifts, and you will not be penalized. -Those who show up every day, on time and do the work they are asked to do are the ones who are being penalized to work harder and do more. -It seems they only notice the work you DON'T do as opposed to the work you DO do. -They believe in 'corrective action' which means if you are horrible to other team members, you will not get fired. -Another team member could be harassing you for months and they wont do a thing about it -The management lie to you, tell you what you want to hear, promise you great things and then turn around and spread rumors behind your back
