Pros
Great coworkers, employee benefits, summer Fridays.
Cons
Flexibility and work life balance are a HUGE con at Ross. Mixed flexibility based on who you work for but only getting stricter across the board. Upper management promised to keep a hybrid schedule and after a year of not hitting financial targets and not paying bonuses they are blaming the merchant team and punishing us by now mandating all buyers to be in the office 4 days every single week. They lied to recent new hires about the hybrid model and now these associates are pissed because did not sign up for this. The company has showed us that they are complete liars. People have made life decisions about where to live and childcare based on being in the office 3 days a week at most. A lot of associates have lost complete trust in this company, me being one of them.. which is so sad because it used to be a great place to work. If they didn't lie to us and break our trust, I know a lot of employees wouldn't be seeking other opportunities. What's next? Fridays??? Company moral is at an all time low.. CEO uses her experience as a benchmark and a standard for all (ie long commute, no work like balance) but she needs to get a clue because through the past few years we have had a rude awaking of how much we are sacrificing for Ross and don't feel we are valued with the lack of flexibility. There is complete disregard to employees lives and what sacrifices we make for this company. The company is going to loose so much great talent.
