Pros

You are guaranteed 40 hours of work each week. The pay is biweekly. I started at $8.50 per hour. You are given an hour lunch break. As a floor associate you are responsible for placing the clothes onto racks as well as removing them from racks. You operate the cash registers and make daily announcements to the customers. The hardest part of this position would be rushing to get a certain amount of clothing and items onto the sales floor within a given time.

Cons

Most employees rarely leave before evening. Work hours vary and could range from 8-5 to 12-9. The job can become monotonous after a while. Meetings are held to track progress and to tell employees whether or not they reached a sales goal. It can be frustrating when there is a problem with reaching the sales goal but the employees have done all that they can.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
