Pros

Unique products and mostly friendly environment.

Cons

Pay is low for what it is. Extremely unclear responsibilities, no set standards, and no emphasis on training as Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager wanted Sales Leads to do their job responsibilities instead of focusing on their own and would actually cancel trucks instead of focusing on pushing freight. Both management only had work experience no degrees or certificates for retail management and sadly it showed. Inconsistent closing schedules. Even management would stock incorrect item colors, styles, and sizes, over other items just to get it out of the backroom, but then the rest of us would get the blame and have to waste time fixing it.

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
