Pros

It is a good place to start when coming out of high school and going into college. You get some experience dealing with all types of customers. You also make some good friends as you are not the only one working in your department.

Cons

I guess like every other job, there are "groups" within the store that tend to like only a few people and do not like new people working at the store. Also, some employees that have not attained the role of manager or supervisor will act like they are the boss just because they think they are entitled to it...be careful of that.

Pros

I was dissatisfied with the experience - would not recommend the store.

Cons

They do not attempt to work with associates in any way. The schedules are so flexible, there is no work/life balance. They do nothing to bring up morale in the store and the only feedback you get is negative.

Pros

Longstanding culture of customer service. The associates I know will do anything to take care of customers no matter what the obstacle. I've learned more about what customer service truly means in my time at this company than I ever thought possible. There are people who make $10 per hour who could lead a symposium on what it means to take care of customers.

Cons

Antiquated systems and processes. To be the second largest retailer in the world, our systems and processes are a joke. They make even the most basic task more difficult. There are never enough aprons to take care of customers. Despite the culture of associates wanting to take care of customers, there just isn't enough help on the floor.
