Pros

I liked most of my coworkers, and we had fun times. I loved seeing all the products and helping people find what they needed. The job was very chill for the most part.

Cons

There was only one store manager and no other store leads. She was a people pleaser; however, she also would talk badly about other employees and reveal confidential medical information about one. We were always understaffed. For my case, she made me believe I would be hired after my probation period and would train me for a higher position. I was young and was not aware of the mistakes I was making. She never brought them to my attention when they were occurring. She only informed me in a meeting that I would not be hired past my probation period. I admit I was immature, but the environment fueled that immaturity. I have always been the person who, if I am causing a problem and it's brought to my attention, I will do my best to fix it, but I was not given that chance. She also emailed all the store employees, calling me a liar. There was no communication, and it made the environment hostile.

Pros

Pay wasn't too terribly bad, make around $14 an hr. Management can be hit or miss depending on who you get, colleagues will likely be early 20's if you're the same age

Cons

My location had lower hours Hard to move up, only one other position which was keyholder/assistant manager

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
