It's great to work every day with talented, smart, driven, helpful, accountable coworkers and leaders! Culture is positive, and consistent with the brand. Company performance is strong due to a solid business strategy. Leaders are truly developmentally focused with their team members, providing actionable timely feedback, which I appreciate.

Pros

I have been in retail a LONG time, and no where have I ever been surrounded my so many smart people.
Because Ross is risk adverse, projects move slowly, as a result, the work is better, smarter, cleaner.
The people all across the organization really ROCK, they say a rising tide lifts all boats, and at Ross, you get to see that here, it's true.

Advice to Management

Embrace empowering the talented people Ross has hired

Pros

Coming from my previous employment of over 27 years at another company, I was nervous to join Ross. I had no idea what to expect. Everyone immediately welcomed me and made me feel at home. I can honestly say that all our groups work together in an inclusive way which allows my work to be more efficient. I have been at Ross for close to 2 years and still very happy with my decision to join.

Advice to Management

Ross has been a very stable company in good and bad times. I account this to Management's ability to gauge the future and make decisions that allow for our progress.

Pros

I spent many years working as a consultant and so have extensive history experiencing how other companies work. From this experience I can tell you that Ross is a well run organization with mature work processes and an experienced work force. In my roll, my responsibilities are clearly defined but I also have room to take on new challenges and expand my impact on the organization.

Advice to Management

Be more open to new technologies that are becoming widespread throughout the industry by taking baby steps

Pros

I have been here a little more than a year and from high tech companies. Although this is a retail company, there is a lot of challenging IT projects. The best part about working at Ross is the culture encourages innovation and supports it. For example, employees typically stop innovating when failures get punished regardless (within reason). At Ross, you are encouraged to be creative and innovative handling challenging IT projects and IT employees are encouraged to learn from their mistakes to do better next tries. I also like that most employees that I have worked with are professional and focused. A great place to challenge yourself.

Advice to Management

Nothing major I can think of at this point.

Pros

Diverse
Organized Systems / Processes
Kindness Culture

Advice to Management

Host campus celebrations near the Ross Cafe (A live DJ would be fantastic)

Pros

Approachable Leadership, down to earth and professional co-workers, humble environment, dynamic with lots of opportunities to explore and good balance

Advice to Management

This is my 7th year at the company and I have seen the Leadership team evolve by the day to make this a better place. Kudos to the various pyramid heads for working together towards the common goal.
