Pros

I had a unique experience here as every retail job before has been with toxic managers and stressed coworkers. My manager, Ina, was truly amazing! They were highly positive, personable, made every effort to compliment me and my coworkers on their efforts and personality. Ina was attentive and had such an infectious drive to keep us working together. I am truly glad for their promotion, Ina deserved it. The store I worked for was new, always clean and on-trend, and was a positive environment. I do miss working there sometimes.

Cons

As with most retail, the hours being so variable and limited opportunity for promotion makes it typical for the industry. Customer service can be draining and it's a job that requires you to be on your feet and able to change your plans at a moment's notice when someone calls in sick. Short-staffed.

Pros

Salary isn’t terrible, your peers are helpful and available for problem solving. Benefits are there, nothing to speak highly on, 3 holidays they recognize for paid holiday. But they do offer benefits to FT employees. No sick accumulation pto days tho. Can be a very fun and interesting job. It’s a very clean and inviting store to come into.

Cons

Tasks are hard to stay on top of and complete with in a timely manner. Trucks are heavy with product and have no locations. finding employees to work part time and be productive is difficult at times. Older products are never usually marked down to sell through so it’s always building up in the stock room. Someone calls in there’s not a lot of employees (2 FT and 3 PT total) you are always required to stay if there’s no one to cover. They don’t pay much over minimum wage for entry level positions, finding the perfect fit with the right qualifications for that amount of money, is a full time job itself. No OT is ever allowed for store coverage. Heavily loaded with POG changes and seasonal change overs are becoming more often than not anymore. They allow extra hours to help with completing. Usually just enough to work your other tasks and just get started good on change overs before they drop another few.
