Great people, great flexibility.

I'd like to see a larger paycheck every 2 weeks, but that's kinda just a me problem, I guess. The people are by far the best part of the job, I've made some good friends here and wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't see myself staying here for a career, but it's a nice high school/college job.

Pros

Great people, very flexible scheduling.

Cons

Not so great pay, 10 cent raises every 3 months.

If you can get a better job I please do!!

The pay is good if you are full time or a manager. For me the work is boring, without purpose and could be done by a robot. Why there are no self checkouts is beyond me. They watch every step you make on camera it’s creepy. I haven’t done anything wrong I just get creeped out that they watch closely everything.

Pros

Pay

Cons

BORING no purpose

Poor management

Some departments are managed so poorly. You can only do so much without their support. Don't bother asking for help, if you do then you're causing problems.

Cons

Benefits
Was this review helpful?

Not a bad place

People are great to work with. Management has tended to be the only issues ever encountered; lots of inconsistency in style, where it flips from being praise and direction to derision and chastisement.

Decent place to work.

I was able to choose my hours as quite a permanent schedule because I was n.y part time, no benefits. I also worked some off shifts if they needed help. Give a little get a little! I worked quite well with all management, and most people. I always enjoyed my customers, and got to know a lot of regulars! To me, it was a fun job.

Pros

I believe management does try their best to accommodate most people and their schedules.

Cons

I believe their “points system” needs some gray area for people who are seldom delinquent, and follow the rules! I could go into long stories of people who deserve it, and those that don’t, but I was told “rules are rules”!

Easy going attitude generally.

Corporate structure does not allow managers to make decisions regarding employees. Very rigid and unable to make compromises. Very good place to work unless there is any misunderstanding.

Pros

Casual attitude and friendly coworkers

Cons

Corporate structure rigid like many large companies

A great place to work

Excellent wages and benefits. Flexible part time hours. In home training program informative and useful. The big variety of classe are well worth taking. Promotions from within and ability to transfer to other locations.

You are expendable.

It is with deep regret I must say this is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for. The Management has extensive training about product, finance, and display set up. No corporate focus is given to leadership, staff development and effective training. I overheard my manager say we had a 96% turnover rate and he didn't appear concerned. While I don't know if this is true, the treatment of staff is pitiful at best.

Pros

you do get a weekly paycheck

Cons

read the review. Too much to cover here
