Pros

Benefit package offered to Regular Part Time employees. Employee discount is better than some companies.

Cons

At my store: The "Good Ole Boy" policy is alive and going strong! If you are not a personal friend with the 'HR" you are at bottom of the heap. Full time Sales Associates are given perfered treatment in scheduling, fix work schedules and time off requests. CSA's are treated as second class, with part time CSA's even lower. The attitude is that Sales associates are not required to re-stock returns, and in the case of a Fashion/rough sections, they do not have to work the rough sections. Training to bring CSA's up to speed on product knowledge, SOS, M2O, details and installed sales is seriously lacking. There is not enough employees on the floor. The store's number one complaint from customers is lack of customer service. Time and time again we watch as customers walk out of the store - frustrated by the lack of customer service. There is a serious lack of communication between all levels of management and management and employees. The in store computer system is seriously outdated and SLOW! (my old '386') was faster!

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
