Vantaggi

You will meet some amazing folks and make strong connections with those who work in your store.

Svantaggi

Everything, from the Pay to the stores itself. The "benefits" aren't even benefits, for a company that sells up charged dollar store items they have their store workers doing multiple unnecessary tasks in which they get yelled at for not completing or prioritizing their sales floors over sending a picture of a minor task that will not help in sales. Your district managers will micro-manage everything you do and make you feel as if all your hard work and effort is worth nothing while they sit at home watching you work on cameras and go on vacation every 3 weeks. Hours given to these store are HORRIBLE! This company expects the stores to be spotless and ready for the following day but never provide stores with the proper amount of hours so you will often find yourself working alone or with one cashier. Your district managers will have you cut hours at every second so their end of the quarter bonuses are nice and big while you and your team struggle. Retention in stores is terrible. The spacing in the stores make everything look cluttered and dirty, no matter how much you clean it. Not many opportunities' to grow higher than positions within your stores, they will raise your hopes up just to hire someone on the outside

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
