Pluspunten

Pay was above industry average

Minpunten

Classic bait and switch recruitment process; training evokes utopian environment and progressive change...very arrogant and also fearful, selfish survival culture, both in stores and corporate office...CEO and upper management rule with a 'do it or else' mentailty and practice...company attempting to become large big box chain, but refuses to implement long-term technology and training to reach goal...all employees are treated as dispensible, and turnover at all store levels is much higher than industry average...Anyone with a long-tern retail career in mind should take a pass

Pluspunten

Corporate is 10/10. At a large company, every department is different but they value their customers and employees and offer great benefits. Rewarding to work there

Minpunten

Not much to say. Best employer I’ve had

Pluspunten

Employee Discount Access to Expert voice, which seems like no one tells you about, That's about it.

Minpunten

The biggest problem is there's no defined end to the night. We're scheduled until 9pm, but it's become normal to stay an hour, two hours, sometimes even longer past that because leadership keeps adding more tasks and finding new things to fix after everything is already done. It feels like the goalposts constantly move. My availability hasn't always been respected, communication has been poor, and there's a huge difference in accountability between employees. The people who work hard and stay busy all night end up staying just as late as the people standing around talking or doing nothing. Instead of addressing the actual productivity issues, everyone gets held hostage until leadership decides the store is finally good enough. I've worked retail for years, and every other place I've worked had a clear definition of what needed to be done before you could leave. Here, it feels like there is no finish line, which makes it impossible to plan your life around a part-time job. The discount and perks are nice, but the lack of consistency, the constantly changing expectations, and the uncertainty about when you're actually going home have made the job a lot more frustrating than it needs to be. If you're thinking about working here and want to work night shifts, plan on staying well past your scheduled end time until someone tells you it's "ok to leave". I was told I needed to ask for permission before clocking out, great leadership skills.
