A Complete Waste of Life

Pros

It's easy and you'll make some pocket change.

Cons

It's boring and there isn't much to do. You are assigned a department that takes little to no effort to clean, since you are not required to organize clothes by color or style. So long as all the sizes are grouped together, it can be "hashed" which is a word the company uses to excuse why their stores look like crap. If you work the night shift, just know that you won't get off when you are scheduled to, because everyone who works that night must leave together, regardless if you are ready or not. Surprisingly, even with the lack of things to do, you will still find lazy associates who will try to pawn their responsibilities off on you. This is a job for people who don't really want to work hard but want some extra cash, has already retired from a career or is still in school and hasn't started one yet. Don't work here if you are looking for a challenge. Better yet, only work here if you honestly have exhausted every other option.

Pros

Paid every week 45 minute lunch breaks for full time employees

Cons

The management stands around and hides in the office. They treat you like garbage and complain at you when you don't finish your department. The last time I got a compliment was during my interview... They gave a position title and made it sound really great but when it got real I realized that I am just a body. If I didn't show up for work no one would notice until they needed to criticize me.

Pros

They are pretty good about giving time off when requested in time. Give quarterly raises based on improvement, reliability, and customer service ability. The associates are very friendly and easy to work with.

Cons

The biggest problem I had with this company is the way they do the attendance. When you clock in one minute late they write that in your chart. They treat you as if you were an hour late, and there have been plenty of times that I have had to clock in late because they like to take their time opening the doors to let me in. My manager has told me that she does not know how long it may take her to get to the door, which it should never take more than two minutes but has taken them fifteen, so I should leave even earlier. I already arrive five to ten minutes early ninety percent of the time.
