Pros

So they do a lot of selling and telling you that they are about the family. This is not true during anytime there is a problem they tend to call you in and make it so you have to work. If you are a manager you will have to be there when you don't want to be. I would tell you that they are such a lean company and they don't pay enough to deal with the mess that you deal with. I know it's say pro's the only pro is there is discount that is it.

Cons

Some of these people take it way to seriously. It retail you are not saving the world. Numbers are unrealistic. Plus you have to sell credit. Not offer but sell. They do it to themselves because they don't hire well. Depending what store you are and what store manger you have you could be doing almost everything by yourself. Everyone complains about other people. But even the people who are complaining can't do there job. The training blows and then they expect these people to know what they are doing.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
