Pros

Loved my team members! Made a ton of new friends. Loved working the holidays with my team. Work/life balance not bad, however, dont you dare call in or they will make you feel horrible.

Cons

Where do I begin.....MICROMANAGING! They hire recent grads who know nothing about the company. The team leads gossiped all day. Several team members heard team leads talking bad about them to other team members while they were on the floor. The team leads acted like bullies when they came to "check on our progress" I worked as an Operator/Softlines Team Member. My team lead usually has a long list of things for me to do each day. I wouldn't mind completing these tasks, however, she usually wanted them done in an hour. How on earth does one fold an entire section, refill the floor, super-zone an entire area, while answering the the phone and checking individuals into the fitting room???? Employees are required to show up even while sick. An employee that worked in the food court contracted a Staph infection, instead of sending him home, they let him continue to work. When others complained, they transferred him to the grocery department...really? Laughing is seen as unproductive, however, I was constantly told that I was not fast, fun, and friendly....The raises were terrible and were based on your ability to kiss up to the team leads. At times there was about 2 or 3 people closing several departments on their own. The minute the end of December rolled around, the layoffs begin to take hold. It might have taken 3 years for me to escape, however I DID IT! SWEET BABY JESUS I ESCAPED!!!
