Pros
Easy to land a job
Pay is okay for someone without any bills
Discount on everything
Hours are okay depending on the time of year.
Cons
HR sold the job like it would be the most funniest place to work. But really its horrible. Didn't get my schedule until a week after starting. On my first day they pretty much just threw me in the back tagging clothes, which isn't my job.
Management doesn't have a clue what goes on since they pretty much stay in their office all day. I could have been sitting in my car my whole shift and they wouldn't even know. The staff is full of middle age people that just gossip all day and take the job way to serious.
The best part about Burlington is how nice and friendly the coworkers are (depending on your location.) Honestly, they're the only reason I stay. The 15% discount—30% during certain dates—is also great if you like shopping there. The managers are usually understanding if you can't attend work as long as you let them know ahead of time. Sometimes they'll provide meals or snacks for their employees.
Cons
They assign too much work for only being paid at $9 per hour as a cashier/floor associate. If you're working shifts on weekdays, you'll most likely be the only cashier (with a supervisor if you're lucky), which makes the job all the more difficult and stressful. More often than not, floor associates have to come up to help with the line. Afterwards, there's an even bigger mess for the cashier to clean since the floor associates leave their registers in disarray. It's difficult to get your preferred hours since the managers don't care about what you want. It's mentally draining and physically exhausting, just like any other low wage job. Expect more work here, though.
