Only credit cards matter

Pros

They hire anyone with a pulse.

Cons

The job pays pennies. This is one of the lowest paying jobs I ever had the displeasure of working for. Hours will get cut if you do not sell enough credit cards. One week you’ll have 35 hours next week only 12 then week after that you’ll get 6 hours. Managers stand behind you the entire 8 hour shift at cash register telling you to sell more credit cards. If you sell enough credit cards they treat you like a queen and you’re allowed to do whatever you want. Meaning not doing your job, leaving a mess behind for other workers to clean because you are the credit card champion. You can be amazing in your department but if you aren’t selling credit cards you will have your hours cut and they will keep hiring more and more people and giving your hours to them instead. Also certain mangers have zero people skills, they’re either really young coordinators or their above that. And they have a temper problem. If I’m honest I felt too old being there, almost like a babysitter half the time. A lot of the folks they hire are High School kids working their first job, while complaining they don’t want to be there and hiding in the dressing room so they can scroll on their phones. Or they’re older and don’t even need the job, just working to get out the house. It’s not a job for young adults looking to make actual income.

AVOID WORKING HERE

Pros

The only pro in this place is that they do pay well.

Cons

Everything. They have unrealistic expectations with speed for the amount of time you ticket your item especially the way they packed the certain merchandise in the box where it's impossible to reach to the item and they expect you to be very fast no matter what merchandise. Some of the supervisors even talk behind people's back. This place is design to set people up for failure. DON'T APPLY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE OVER WORK...
