Pros

Schedule not too bad, pay was good, employees pretty good, cool products

Cons

Changing way to fast, total lack of training, but they are working on that. Upper level management is all about themselves, little help from corporate office. Owners need to take a step back and let the senior management do what they were hired to do. Bonus is a joke and rarely amounts to anything.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
