Pros

Most of the team are quite friendly and happy to help Love working on the tills!

Cons

Failed to pay a number of us on payday, we had to wait until the next payday Asked to stay back during your shift rather than being asked in advance I had to stay beyond my contracted hours weekly Very disorganised management Spend hours doing 'recovery' e.g putting things back where they're supposed to be when customers have moved them, or putting things back from the returns rail, this is more difficult if you don't work in the returns department and don't know where anything is! A lot of favouritism which in turns brings discrimination You're given orders by your manager, supervisor as well as other retail assistants in your department, who are you supposed to listen to? Not enough people to work with in your department - there's a very high turnover rate for a reason. Lack of professionalism, a lot of inappropriate behaviour

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
