Pros

Ross is a great place if you value strong culture of diversity and a solid discount program, benefits for eligible Associates, and clear pathways to grow into leadership supported by internal promotions, plus structured training. The business is solid and continues to grow.

Cons

Middle level leaders are resistant to new ideas. There is a lack of diversity in certain parts of the company and at the senior leadership level considering who the customers are at Ross. They have different standards for different people and do not always promote Black and Hispanic people who are qualified. HR does not care about employees if you have a complaint so be careful if you have a problem.

Pros

Pay is decent. Bonus structure is decent. Hybrid model. Summer Friday's through summer. Student of the business model. A lot of learning and grow your own opportunities. Care for your success in your role. Many opportunities to grow with the company, you just need to be out spoken and put yourself out there. Casual dress.

Cons

Busy work. Depending on the area you get assigned to work load and flexibility can vary. Favoritism. Can be a high stress environment. Certain areas do not believe in work life balance. Management love to micromanage and listen to themselves talk. Many meetings. Meetings that can be emails are your day in and day out. The actual office space is dated. In the heart of DTLA, very unsafe surroundings. Advised by management to not walk around outside of the building.
