Pros

The other associates made work a little more bearable

Cons

- Can’t view schedule online, it is a paper schedule that is always wrong because what is on the computer (peopleworks) is different. It would be convenient to be able to view the peopleworks schedule online from home to avoid discrepancies in your schedule. - You are scheduled to come to work on a day you requested off (and was approved for) - As an SPS you are required to be at the front of store greeting customers when they come in as well as when they leave the store. It is very repetitive. - You are required to say your job description every single day to your manager who does the “check-in”. We know what we are supposed to do so there is no need to repeat it everyday. - As an SPS you will get your break and lunch after the cashier. I have worked shifts where I never get my last break. - 30 minute lunch. - Sometimes you can’t take your full 15 minute break because you will get called back to the sales floor - When the store gets busy, the customers will call you lazy because you have to stand at the front and just observe. - You are forced to stand at the front, you aren’t allowed to leave the front. It is hard to see the back of the store from where you are at.

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.
