Pros

It's a relatively easy job at store level ... 20% discount A good retail experience as far as experience goes ..

Cons

Honestly like the title says ... It's a min wage job ! Management is way to pushy ! In professionalism to the max ! If we had way more coverage then we would meet sales goals The survey we push does not have realistic expectations Email prompt annoying , we need loyalty cards !!!! Customers prefer it over these emails they receive !!!

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
