Vantaggi

I literally can't think of anything positive to say here. The only possible pro that I can the merchandise. There are a lot of good quality items for $5 or less that would cost more elsewhere.

Svantaggi

Where do I begin..there is absolutely no work life balance. Store managers are used and abused and expected to work 100 hours 7 days a week. Upper management has little to no regard for the fact that managers have families and lives outside of the work place. I was given 225 payroll hours and out of those hours at least 60 of them were to be used to process freight off hours and another 145 hours were used by myself and the rest of my management team leaving only 20 hours to be split amongst the remaining 20 cashiers on my staff. The company wastes payroll by having visual resets every week so there is never enough time to focus on the customer or any other aspects of the business. When you are unable to meet these ridiculous and highly unrealistic demands you are berated by upper management. I lodged a complaint with HR about the unethical treatment of store managers and received no correspondence back. It took me having to call the VP of the company before anyone gave me a courtesy call back about my concerns.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

-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
