Pros

Good discount that can stack on top of sales. Decent pay for level/difficulty of work (though nothing to write home about) Pretty flexible when it comes to accommodating scheduling needs.

Cons

Schedules are supposed to be release two weeks in advance—most of time we are lucky to get them three days in advance. Inconsistent communication and policies. Some managers will honor expired sale signs, some won’t. Some managers will sell floor models (if long restock time), some won’t. Makes it it difficult to provide good and consistent costumer services and to be confident when telling customers the policies. Management is not particularly willing to help out a lot of the time but gets upset when customers have to wait.

Not what it used to be. Kingswood Capital Management has ruined it.

Pros

Flexible schedule, excellent management and co-workers.

Cons

Unable to deal with rampant shoplifting due to corporate inaction, constant price increases felt like greed and quickly became unaffordable even when taking employee discount into consideration (and also made customers very unhappy, note that they took out the "Cost Plus" name), pushing a discount with a credit card signup felt predatory, pay raise period would happen a month before minimum wage increase kicked in, ensuring one would always be making minimum wage, merchandise has shifted away from cool world items and has dropped substantially in quality, becoming more or less household items without international flair, or are dropship. Christmas is being pushed as early as summer.
