Pros

if you have to, do it for a short time, and hopefully your co-workers will be nice.

Cons

constant cutting of hours, threatening culture, no exception rule of having to meet sales and credit goals or the bullying culture starts, top down threatening corporate culture, talking down to employees like they are in kindergarten, no raises ever again, only pay by performance, new policies like rock the dock which make department organization worse, constant turnover from unhappy and mistreated employees. managers that spend time in office writing daily notes on what you need to do that could be talked about in 2 minutes, a waste of a position, horrible management/employee relations. EXCEL LINE that does no good. Unless you are sexually or racially discriminated against, forget hoping that the bullying stops. It won't, until it becomes a law.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
