Pros

Discounts are great, especially on a 40% off sales for employees, you can find some good stuff in the store for yourself.

Cons

Slave labor is what comes to mind. They don't schedule nowhere near enough people trying to save 8$ per hour on payroll. You're stuck doing enourmous amounts of work all by yourself, and expectations of you are as of some superhuman.The lines are increadiably long, people treat store and you like crap because its a discount store. You're supposed to get everything done in your area by 10 pm at closing, in reality night shift has to stay until 11-11:30 pm just to clean and get everything done. I wouldn't recommend anyone going for a temporary job at Ross, exept maybe loss prevention. Those guys have it EASY, 10$ per hour and virtually no work, just stay awake.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
