Okay for High School students
Merchandise Associate (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 25, 2013
Pros: friendly associates, nice management, flexible schedule.
Cons: pay sucks, must work nights and weekends, are expected to work harder for no extra compensation.
The people were fun to work with, and the schedules were very flexible. However, the pay is terrible. You start at minimum wage and it doesn't go up much from there. You get a ten to twenty-five cent raise every YEAR. That's it.
Working here you are trained in almost every area, they expect you to know everything and work every position, and work nights – more... and weekends but do not compensate you with pay. For example I started as a sales associate and was eventually put into the Cash Office where I handled ALL the money the store made, sometimes up to $50,000 in cash, however I was not given any sort of raise for such a position of HUGE responsibility.
Like I said, it's an okay job for someone in High School who is just looking for a little extra cash. – less

Short and productive depending on the shift
Seasonal Part-time Sale Associate (Former Employee), Emeryville, CA – April 24, 2013
Pros: 45minute lunches and shopping on the clock
Cons: bad role models in managment
The customers were awsome. The job was easy only because i was experienced. Management did not have their priorities together, there was to much gossiping. Co-workers were very helpful. The hardest part about the job was trying to complete 8 hours of work in 4 to 6 hours. The most enjoyable part is being able to shop while working.

Very productive, and a fun working environment
Retail Associate/Cashier (Former Employee), Fort Worth, TX – April 24, 2013
Pros: discount on clothes
Cons: short breaks
I have had a very good experience in Marshall's . It has a great variety in merchandise. Also, it is very organized. There is always someone to assist you, and the managers are working on the floor. that is unusual, but is appreciated. The cashiers are very friendly and the lines are short. Working wise you can get a discount on clothes that's already – more... on sale. There really isn't anything hard about Marshall's, its a great place for kids and adults to buy clothes, and shoes of any brand for an affordable price. – less

Drama in workplace
Retail Associate (Former Employee), Berwyn, IL – April 23, 2013
Pros: free lunches
Cons: call-offs from co-workers
What I have experienced through out my process with working different jobs. Is that the people are definitely different and everybody works the way they want to. I have always been given great compliments about my working strategy, how dependable I was. So I just learned that you have to work wisely but with good intention for yourself and the customers.

My Marshalls Experience
Cashier (Former Employee), Emeryville CA – April 16, 2013
Pros: friendly co workers, walking distance to my home
Cons: being a new store not enough work hours.
I loved working at Marshalls especially since it was a new store I had an opportunity to start on the ground floor. I would of loved to continue to work their but unfortunately with it being a new store, the hours were not the best. One week you may work 25 hours, the next week 15 hours and the next week 2 hours. I could not afford or have the luxury – more... to continue to work since the store was still in the process being established by it being a new store location. I do not fault the Management since it was a new store, I figure it a try and see what happens. I did have an opportunity to learn somethings, I learned how to properly dispose of trash and place it in the trash compactor to be crushed. I was able to learn how to adjust price receipts or place items back into inventory. – less

unfair work conditions
Customer Service (Current Employee), Springfield, OH – April 15, 2013
Pros: co-workers
Cons: managers
I love my co workers. The management however is another story. They tell you that you can move up in the company but only if you know the right people. They treat the employees not very well, and with a lot of disrespect and hypocrisy. The most enjoyable thing about my job is meeting new people everyday and having conversations with old ones. Hardest – more... part of the job is figuring out what is best for me and my co workers even the customers to ensure everyone leaves happy. – less

A job that requires self management
Lost Prevention Detective (Former Employee), Miramar, FL – April 13, 2013
A typical work day always started with reviewing yesterdays logs, seeing how much was missing from the store and figuring out if it is intentional or accidental store loss. The most enjoyable part of the job was that even though the work was the same daily the days where never the same.

Chain of command
Merchandise Manager (Former Employee), Levittown, PA – April 9, 2013
Pros: i love the team leaders and associates that i worked with.
Cons: there were six people within two weeks that gave notice, could not respect manager due to this
I was suppose to be a merchandise salary manager. Yet my store manager seemed to go to team leaders before going through chain of command. I could not watch her speak to associates in the manner she used on the sales floor it was very unprofessional. Did not feel comfortable due to disrespect .
