Pros
Great company to work for! When you have the mindset to move up within the company or your store, it's very possible. It only took me only 1 year of working there that I was able to become a manager/supervisor.
Your hired as part-time when you start, so there are less scheduale obligations you have.
They love to promote from within, and the management team works close with you to make sure it happens. Even the coporate managers/leaders, know who are once you've made the steps to move up.
It's all about support, and they definitely give it you. There is a lot of self reflection/review your expected to fulfill, however it is very helpful to see your own progress and how you're developing and achieving your goals.
Also, the fact that Ross doesn't descriminate against anyone, you meet amazing peoeple to work with. There stories and backgrounds are just amazing, truly my most favorite coworkers I have met, were from Ross.Cons
Not all managers are the same and there tends to be some obvious favortisim between management and associates. But that's any company.
Sometimes when your store is understaffed, if our part-time you will work full-time hours, but with out the benefits and pay. Becuase some stores are only allowed any a limited amount of full-time associates, but hours need to be worked.
Expecatations can be be very high, and if you don't meet them, sometimes they will "coach" you to work a different shift or postion.Advice to Management
Communication can use work.

Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Olympia, WA) in August 2017.
Interview
I applied July 2017, I was called for interview a month later in August.
My interview was conducted in the morning just after the store opened. The hiring manager interviewed me on the sales floor next to the entrance and registers.
It lasted less than 15min. I was relieved this manager was not bothered that my daughter was with me in her stroller, I don't have childcare except during my husbands off hours from his job. I could tell this manager was multitasking, managing employees by walkie talkie while also interviewing me. I was naturally nervous but this manager was personable and easy to converse with once I got to talk to her.Interview Questions
- If you do not have childcare, how will you ensure you can make it to each scheduled shift? 1 Answer
