Pros

This is great first job to have. The environment was good. Every store has their own management so it is going to be different everywhere. When I got my training, everyone knew what each fixture was called and what their tack in their department was, but this was three years ago. All the co-workers were super helpful. Everyone was willing to help and not scared to help or ask you. I got to know everything pretty well other than manage things, but do not be scare to ask management to learn a skill.

Cons

The pay could be better because as a person who works on the salesfloor, I am working my a** off. Same is the same as the backroom people. Sometime management can be pain in the butt, but depends on the manager. They sometimes promote people who are lazy and have no clue how to merchandise or even know their department. I worked for the company for over three years and I have seem management promote people who have no clue how to lead and manage their department. There are management who are not up to date with with store policy and they fall behind trends. Sometimes managers promote people because they are desperate and some actually do promote people because they see potential. there is way more I want to say but no space.

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
