What is the hiring process like at Ross Stores?

Great workers, easy work load, and simple process

Low hours, low pay, allot of work for few people

Lots of Haitians and minorities so its diverse Easy hiring process

Need to go in person or call to find out when you work Dont give you time to clean during shift then your expected to clean when your supposed to leave (You have to hope its not busy all day so you can find time) Expected to reach 100% on the cashier system (relying on speed) but doesn't account for people and their pace

flexible schedule, discount on products for employees, and short interview process

call you on days off to ask if available to work

Interview process was seamless and only a couple weeks long.

Required in-office 4 days a week.

It's an alright starting salary for an entry level job in buying in New York & WFH Fridays

As a new hire out of college, I think the experience of working here is really russian roulette. As an assistant buyer, you have no say in what department you work for, and there's basically no opportunity to move into a desired department. I went to fashion school and was placed in a random accessories department. Like, FIT graduates are buying automotive accessories lol. The worst part and what I think is the fatal flaw of working here is that there's no interview process for your team placement. So even if you are a good employee, smart, and contribute a lot, you just may or may not vibe or align with your manager which absolutely determines your day today experience in the office, your opportunity for promotion, and your overall standing. I had a manager who was horrible, and I know as an employee I was doing a good job, but was only ever constantly berated. There's a corporate culture of always improving and learning, which is generally a good philosophy, but the way it materializes is essentially constant criticism and no reward for anything. HR sucks.

Great interview process, understanding ,fast and,quick

Hours cut short but did hella work

hiring process is non-discriminatory and offers opportunity regardless of background

pay is not good, and raises are several cents extra depending on what position you have

flexible schedule, understanding, easy interview process

high workload during busy and holiday time

Quick interview process, start work immediately with little experience. Works well with individuals who speak other languages. Flexible with schedules.

Store is busy most the time, requiring you to work around customers. No pay increases.

I can confidently say it's an outstanding place to build a long-term career. The company is financially stable, which gives me peace of mind knowing we're well-positioned for success. The wellness and health benefits are top-notch, truly prioritizing the well-being of all employees. What stands out most is the company’s commitment to DEI programs—they’re not just buzzwords here. These initiatives are deeply embedded in the culture, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Respect for associates at all levels is fundamental to the company's ethos, and that respect extends to providing incredible growth opportunities. If you're someone who's dedicated and looking for upward mobility, Ross offers the perfect environment to thrive and develop professionally.

The company could benefit from updating its technology, particularly with AI and integrations that could help streamline administrative tasks. There’s a lot of manual work that could be automated, which would improve efficiency across the board. Additionally, the approval process for almost anything can be quite lengthy, which sometimes slows down progress. The interviewing process also tends to be extended, and could benefit from being more streamlined to improve the candidate experience. In terms of field training, having facilitators could help strengthen the company’s operations and improve knowledge sharing across teams. Finally, while the company has a great culture, incorporating more social media into the daily routine could help further engage employees and promote the company externally—though this could be a pro or con depending on perspective!
