Pros

it's a job. there are some good people that i work with. some positions provide steady schedules. a few are rotating weekends and one night a week. it's not that bad for scheduling. there are a lot of people that use it as a second job.

Cons

lack of internal promotional opportunities beyond a department manager (team leader). paying external hire's more than internal promotions. The largest downside is how they cut payroll/hours, yet raise the bar for positive scores for everything. favoritism is rampant in stores. no matter how poor a performer, he/she/it will get a better review then you. get used to it.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
