Pros

Management is very organized to make sure things done timely, especially when closing in the evenings. The schedule is made with consideration, they try to avoid a late night closing when you have to work the earliest 5 or 6 am shift the next day. Coworkers are friendly and work hard to do a good job. There is typically enough people working to keep up with tasks that are needed so things don't get out of control. Customers are generally very pleasant. The dress code allows you to wear clothing that makes sense for the job you're doing. You can wear practical shoes so your feet are supported and casual work-appropriate clothes that are durable for moving roughly-textured giant garden pots for example. There is a good amount of dust and glitter you will encounter, especially from holiday decor.

Cons

Low hourly pay and not a lot of hours available outside of holidays. Limited opportunities for full time positions. Lifting heavy items and pushing heavy things takes a toll on your body. They try to provide some safety equipment such as gloves and flatbeds, but it can put a strain on your body. Even lifting moderately heavy items like a box set of drinking glasses repeatedly over time can hurt.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
