Pros

The only pros of working for this company is that when markdowns and shipments can in, the employees got to the merchandise first.

Cons

It's a horrible place to work and I wouldn't wish working there on my worst enemy. The management is HORRIBLE and doesn't care about their employees, they only promote their FAVORITES and not the people who actually deserve it, they let their employees be harassed by the higher up and do nothing and then they fire people under false pretense. This is not a company I would ever recommend to work at. Management fires anyone who stands up to them when they're wrong or whoever they feel they can't control.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
