the discounts, if you work there you gain the experience in retail and if you work some where else, it will be seen as a piece of cake!!! Ross is like a training ground!
Cons
the pay is not good, work schedule is not good, too much gosiping insted of working, too much strained work, the custumers are very very rude more than usual at any other place I have worked in.

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama.
Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours.
The employee discount is pretty awesome.
The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.
Cons
There was pressure to come in even when you were sick.
Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation.
Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
