Pros

the only thing good thing left is some of my co-workers, but slowly they are all disapearing too, along with our 401k's and our raises

Cons

they put alot of prime timers on 3 hour shifts, then the hire new people at less money. everything is sell sell sell, don't only sell them what they need but sell them alot of things they don't need. One of the first things we learned in foundation day was that tcs takes care of its employees first in turn the employees take care of our customers and making money becomes easy, now they just want the Money. everything here is money money money. Most of us at our store laugh when we miss goal because we don't care anymore, you can't treat us this poorly and expect any different. Another good laugh is at huddle when the managers cheer and celebrate goals , we all just look at each other and roll our eyes

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
