    Don’t work at the one on Lincoln

    Pros

    Always something to do and fast paced

    Cons

    Staff and management. Management would cut hours after the schedule would be posted and not even have the decency to notify you. If the management didn’t like you she would nitpick about EVERYTHING you do and have a poor attitude as if it was your fault she stayed at the job she did. They pay you less than minimum wage and the customers are a different breed of rude and unsanitary.

    Pros

    good as an entry level position to get you feet wet with in retail

    Cons

    hard to grow with in the company unless you know a lot of the higher ups or placed in a training store. horrible pay for the work they expect from you. pay their lower works minimum wage and expect them to do the work of two. only use about 2% of there revenue to pay staff so 90% of the time the management team is doing mindless task and not actually leading

    Very Hectic and Grueling Hours!

    Pros

    Great Discount, 20% year round and 40% off three times a year, great place to learn new skills, and a very- fast paced environment so the shifts go by quickly

    Cons

    With the extension of hours nationwide it is a very busy and painful place to work. Pay isn't too great for managers but they recently raised the minimum wage for entry-level associates.

    Practically no hours and okay management.

    Feb 4, 2014 - Sales Associate in Schaumburg, IL

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The employees are generally friendly.

    Cons

    No hours and a lot of work has to be done for the minimum wage that they pay you. You will be asked to come in when you are not scheduled like the same day that they want you to come in.

    May 26, 2015 - Retail Sales Associate 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I guess the 20 percent off discount is alright. I always try not to shop there since a lot of their products are bad quality.

    Cons

    They are exploiters. They pay minimum wage and keep cutting people's hours so the ones working have to work their rears off. I understand that they want to keep their prices low, but if they want to do that then they shouldn't be so strict. All of their corporate policy is such bull. They have no respect for their employees what so ever. Also, they never give anyone full time unless it is absolutely necessary, not even their most loyal employees. They gotta watch out they wouldn't want to give any of those 'benefits' away.

    Pros

    - 20% discount on most items (40% discount every once in a while) - Most co-workers were fun to work with - Sociable environment - Opportunity for promotions if you're hard-working - Learning experience in retail

    Cons

    - Starting pay is minimum wage; raises are given every year but at fractions of a dollar - Store is a chaotic mess because customers disorganize things all the time - FES basically means you're always on the register doing returns, exchanges AND purchases - Some people are political about management

    No room to actually grow

    Mar 10, 2014 - Loss Prevention Associate 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The only thing I end up enjoying is working with my co-workers.

    Cons

    My store has a very difficult customer base to the point of cursing and the frequent 'flipping of the bird' at many of us. We do not get much support from the company to help make an effective loss prevention team. Greeting potential crooks can only do so much. LP is a dead end career, even though I have been told there was opportunities for me, I have yet to move up in my career. Associates work very hard and have outrageous amounts of work to do for just minimum wage. When they finally do something good, there is little positive reinforcement, just demands to be better. There is no enjoyment walking into that building.
