Go somewhere else

I have worked at the 99 cents only store for three years now and the only reason I have stayed this long is because of my coworkers. If it wasn’t for them the work would be unbearable. We do not get paid enough(8$) for what we are expected to do. During the pandemic we did not receive any hazard pay we only received a 25$ gift card to spend at the store for the whole year. This let’s you know what kind of company you would work for they don’t care about the employees. Let alone if we ask for a day off for a personal reason you have to argue with the managers and the day is without pay. We are always short handed yet they don’t hire any people because there is not enough hours. I would not recommend for you to apply save yourself from the drama.

Organized

Love working here. The only downside is the customer service from management. Several of our customers complained about the rude manager on duty and the fact that we never have enough people to cashier or help with go backs or price checks.

Fine if you like being overworked and underpaid.

There was really nothing special about the job. Store manager was rude to new hires and had a bad attitude. They played favorites with people as well. Closing manager was helpful, but still at the mercy of store manager. 0/10 wouldn't recommend anyone trying to work there.
