Pros

None not a thing no pros here

Cons

Where to start poor training, no teamwork in the management. The gm's and asm treat the poor cashier kids who work there like they are stupid and dont bother to train them correctly, in fact the mg on duty has to do ALL returns and and trans with a customer who pays witha twenty or higher , no joke if they get a 20, 50 or 100 bill they have to ring for manager to do the sale .

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
