Pros

Easy job, kept busy. Most of the staff were friendly and really nice, except for a few folk in management but i guess that's the same in every job. Good if you dont mind doing the same thing every day and tidying up customers mess.

Cons

Left to your own devices. Management could be a bit useless at times. Can be monotonous sizing clothes or folding all day. Pants tables are the worst, especially when you've just fixed something perfectly then a customer messes it up instantly. A lot of patience needed for this job. Shop gets absolutely roasting during summer due to poor ventliation.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
