Pros

Everyone was nice and supportive for the most part

Cons

The main manager was rude and didnt care for employees health. I tried to take a mental health leave with a doctor's note and he told me I could leave but I might not have a job when I come back. He was very rude about it and didnt seem to understand that mental health is a serious thing and took the whole thing as an excuse for time off.

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
