Pros

Good part time hours. HR could have been worse

Cons

Store manager was an unreasonable jerk who when he left for a week every other manager was calmer and work was pleasant as soon as he came back it’s like walking on egg shells. Absolutely insane

Pros

Some nice coworkers if your a decent looking guy like me female coworkers will hit on you lol and a slight discount. Schedule was flexible.

Cons

The customers are absolutely disgusting and rude. Cheap clothing attracts cheap people, poor people with bad attitudes from bad neighborhoods. They trash the store so your constantly cleaning up. My time thier it got so bad they got rid of the couches people could sit on because costumers would just trash it. Managers/leads what ever they call themselves would just walk in circles barking micromanagement orders. Some obviously had favorites. Managers would just talk to each other constantly and God forbid they even caught coworkers saying hi to each other.

Cons

-White/Hispanic supervisors will talk about you behind your back and give you dirty looks -HR never answers the phone and is very rude at times -Will criticize you for the way you work -Doesn't allow black employees to talk to each other but white/hispanic employees can do whatever they please -Supervisors and managers like to get in your face and get loud with you -Definitely don't know how to talk to their employees or how to treat them -Employee bathroom always closed and dirty. Customer bathrooms dirty as well -Garbage always piling up in the break room and fitting rooms -Never listening to the workers request -Don't request for time off during November-December you won't get it, they overwork you during the holidays and no they don't care about your personal life. -Will give you crazy hours during Black Friday and if you can't be there for whatever reason the only thing they will tell you is don't show up -Expects workers to find something to do when there is nothing to fix and there are no customers -If you work less than 5.5 hours, money will be taken out your check for a break you do not get -Working 4-5 hours you will not get a break, not even a 10 minute or a 15 minute break -Being sent to other floors to work as punishment -Does not appreciate their black employees, even though that is the majority race of people employed there -Had to beg for a permanent employee discount -Managers allowing supervisors to talk to employees any kind of way and the only thing said is "no matter what happens, that's still your supervisor"
