Pros

You are given 3 weeks paid vacation- 2 for being there, and 1 more for working 6 days a week during December. The benefits are very good, including dental and eye plans. You are also gauarenteed every other weekend off which is unheard of in retail.

Cons

The biggest issues I had was not beeing developed. Out of a 9 month time period my district manager never walked my store floor with me once to show me what I was doing well and what I needed to improve. This was the main reason I left. I wanted to learn and get better at what I was doing, but no one seemed willing to teach me.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
