Pros

If you like working hard, and you enjoy a decent work environment compared to other retail stores. Other associates despite how much is expected from them are friendly and willing to help each other.

Cons

Pay is not great and below similar jobs elsewhere. They expext a lot of work and your responsibilities change from day to day. Many times there is to much work and customers for the amount of workers corprate allows the store to have, meaning everyone has to kill themselves trying to keep everything running and the customers happy.

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.
