Lively, Fun, Busy place to work
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Saint Joseph, MO –
Pros: friendly staff, great management, easy computer system
Cons: not enough hours
As soon as I walked in to open in the mornings we went right to work. I am the type of person that likes to be busy and running around getting things done, and here we were always on the go. Whether it's helping customers, finding items, putting shipment out, or working register, you were always doing something.

I really like when I would work one – more...  on one with a customer and learn about them, why they came in, and what they're looking for. It always made me feel good at the end of my shift.

My co-workers were always funny and upbeat, we had lots of inside jokes that kept things going.

Our managers were great, they would make up games for us to help meet our hourly goals. For example, the basket game, where you try to get as many customers to get a basket that way they pick out more items and just toss it into their basket. – less

Worst job experience ever, employees treated like criminals
Charmer (Former Employee), North Carolina –
Pros: discount on cheaply made, overpriced stuff
Cons: everything else
Let's just say this, dont EVER work for a place with high turnover. The turnover here is very high, never a good sign. Employees are treated like criminals, every day they are 'patted down', their pockets checked for merchandise. They have no access to any personal belongings because they arent allowed to bring their purse to work, only keys. Personal – more...  things, including possibly VERY needed items like feminine products, medications, inhalers, etc. MUST be left in their vehicle (which is a high crime area, leaving a wallet and anything else of value in a vehicle is just asking to get robbed). I've never been convicted of any crime in my life, I dont want to be treated like a criminal (or a psychiatric patient) at my job. McDonalds has to be better. At least you can blow your nose without someone accusing you of theft. – less

KariG – April 28, 2012

I worked in a different store in a different state. But....I never felt like a criminal. Charlie supplied clear purses which were kept in lockers. I never had my pockets checked. Day to day security has to be applied. It's just common sense.

management too bossy, dont get a raise
sales associate (Former Employee), bolingbrook, IL –
Pros: friendly people
Cons: short breaks, managers too demanding
every time i work theres always a new policy, the managers are too demanding, and they are always bossing you and watching you. I have worked there for over a year and I never got a raise. Its a laid back job but you definitely work more for what you get paid for
