Pros

I liked many of my coworkers and the work environment was reasonably upbeat, even when we were swamped. Pay is decent, as well as benefits, especially for full time employees.

Cons

Work hours and schedule is all over the place, always includes working weekends. Sections, shelves are usually a mess, constant restocking chaos. The need to constantly deal with dissatisfied, annoyed, and occasionally hostile or unreasonable cutomers who are usually upset by disorganized and out of stock merchandise and long waits for attention or being "ignored" by associates dealing with a million other things/customers at the same time. They need more people on the floor, period. Human resources has a very cozy realtionship with mangagement and usually views things from a management perspective rather than a more objective, reality based perspective.

Pros

Pay better than average for retail, casual dress. No work to take home. For the most part you know what to expect each day at work so the stress level is fairly low. Can change to another department or area of work when bored with current job. Can move up to department supervisor if so inclined and have abilities for a little more pay and alot more responsiblities.

Cons

No set hours or days ,can be made to work anything between 5am and 11pm and most always the weekend. Management aften does a poor job of using resourses (labor, materials,talents) effectively. They are just tring to do what is required by Atlanta anyway they can.

Pros

Flexible work schedules are given along with paid vacation and paid sick leave, which is a plus. Paid Time Off is hard to ignore as a great benefit especially when businesses are downsizing this aspect of the benefits. Decent Medical Coverage is also a plus, which is currently going under a change.

Cons

Management seems to be lacking actual action. There are too many Department Head and Assistant Managers who expect a lot from associates without attempting to lift a helpful hand.
