Great work as a team but recognition for hard work is limited

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great community with coworkers, first dibs on merchandise, early morning shifts, warehouse is better than being on the floor

Cons

Hard work can go unnoticed, you're expected to know as many departments as possible and always be available to work on cash, having to deal with rude customers that take advantage of the return policy, 10% discount for employees is worth little to nothing

Great Flexibility, Challenging Work Environment

Retail sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The scheduling flexibility is one of the few positive aspects of working here. If you request time off in advance, management is usually accommodating and approves it whenever possible.

Cons

However, the work environment has significant challenges. There is a noticeable perception of favoritism among some coordinators, who appear to support certain employees more than others. This creates an inconsistent workplace where expectations and accountability are not applied equally. In some cases, employees who have close personal relationships with coordinators are held to different standards, which can negatively affect team morale and the overall work environment.

Chill environment with good perks and typical cashier tasks

Sales associate/cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty chill, perks are access to first dibs on the merchandise and the people are cool. 10% off is pretty sweet too.

Cons

Typical cashier job, so lots of standing on your feet and dealing with customers (who are mostly nice, just the few bad apples here and there).
