Pros

If you like people, having every problem solved for you by scripts, and what few problems you do need to solve using your brain still need to be within rather tight designated lines then you'll love it

Cons

"We don't approve working when not clocked in, it's against policy" followed shortly by "we suggest you get here 15-30 minutes early to get your computer on, programs running, and log into the phone system before clocking in" Pretty much tells you all the info you need about how contradictory many policies and suggestions are... Such as don't hang up on a customer (even when they're being abusive), but you still somehow don't have to take abuse from the customer. Then any call that you do wind up forwarding to a supervisor is met with a lecture on ho2 you need to work harder to descalate the situation even though it only happens once every couple months... Hoping they changed a lot since I worked there, but I doubt it. Glad I left when I did before it drove me insane, I still get moody when someone says the words "metrics" in reference to any data point. You get a real "worker bee" vibe here, it's a step above feeling like a cog, but not enough to make you feel like your opinions matter in any way.

Pros

Great learning opportunities Decent Pay for this economy; although 5-10 years ago would’ve been as they say: high on the hog. Hard work breeds good character Acquire many skills and knowledge in a vast multifaceted environment. Health benefits and vision are pretty good I love job.

Cons

Pay needs to be higher Culture can feel like an elitist environment Rewards aren’t based on merit unfortunately Employee discount is only 10%…. Not enough staff anytime of the year. Corporate greed amongst the executives, the gears ⚙️ don’t turn without the cogs ⚙️.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
