Pros

You get to meet all kinds of people, some of the best, nicest interesting people to work with. You can work and still have fun. I tend to think it takes the stress off just saying "it's just a job."

Cons

Management usually doesn't communicate with each other. Tasks don't get done in time due to one manager negating another. a lot of big egos in this company. Also Hours get cut drastically (unless you're really needed, ex.:black friday, Holidays, markdowns, remodel, recovery, inventory). from 5 days to 3 days to the even minimum - 4hour work week!!! No help were needed. lots of workers overnight, hardly any for opening. Raises are not noticeable. but mainly hours get cut.

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.
