Pros

I was hired for a seasonal position, and management, as well as employees, were mostly nice and helpful when I had any questions. The store was really nice and had a large variety of items.

Cons

The supervisor for the particular job I had couldn't seem to care less to fully show me how to do the job, and was rather rude when I asked questions. It seems like the kind of job that you really shouldn't screw up, and I was left to try figuring things out on my own a lot, which resulted in filling some orders slowly. Another con would be scheduling for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I understand needing to be available, which I was, but I had less than eight hours between my two shifts. And I was given my meal break late on Black Friday, which gave a mark against me out of three before they would terminate me for not following policy. This was not my fault since the store was very busy, and I had reminded the leader more than once I was going to be late clocking out.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
