Pros

Extremely cheap medical/dental, long-term employees really know their stuff, starts higher than minimum wage, flexible with personal life, drug-free workplace, cheap employee lunch,

Cons

Hit or miss with Team Leads/Management knowing how to manage (correct "ethics"), raises really blow (nearly impossible to get high scores on evals no matter what you do), extremely political progression, jobs highly separated by race (cashiers/returns all Black, housekeeping/restaurant all Hispanic, sales mostly Asian), Communication/Interior design department think they run the store and other management for some reason.

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
