Advanced Cashier (Former Employee) - Sterling, VA - September 7, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIt was pretty good. Fine job as a high schooler or college student. It's retail so you'll have to deal with annoying customers. but overall, everyone is pretty chill

It was fun until it wasn't
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Des Peres, MO - January 26, 2023
Everything was great until about a year later after working there we got new management, and everything went downhill. Very fast paced especially around the holidays.

Heavy work load
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Chesterfield, MO - January 25, 2023
Too much work and not enough support from corporate. Since I left the company 5 years ago store management has changed several times. It seems things have not improved if they can't keep people.

Productive and fun place to work
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Portage, MI - January 25, 2023
Leaving this job was hard, the culture is great and I felt supported by my team. The only reason I left was because I was going through a life/career change! :)

Great to gain experience
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Omaha, NE - January 22, 2023
Solid position if wanting to get started in sales or just retail in general. Will work long hours if needed and pay is usually minimum wage but can easily work up if working hard.

It’s okay
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - New York, NY - January 20, 2023
Definitely a nice art tile job. Easy work, great coworkers, nice environment. Pay or play but no holiday bonus or incentives. Management isn’t the greatest.

Proceed with caution
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Santa Ana, CA - January 19, 2023
It was ok but it really depends on the store. Management styles differ from location to location. Requesting weekends off was always hard as well since those are the busiest days. They don’t like when you call out.

Toxic environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - January 19, 2023
The environment is very toxic. Managers lack communication with associates and other managers. Store managers only care about themselves. All they care about is credit and meeting sale goals. How fair is it that store managers get weekends off while other managers work their buts off and don’t get a weekend off. We are never appreciated.

Cool
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Springfield, PA - January 18, 2023
Fun job, I worked there during vivid so it was a bit chaotic. Only downside I would say is the pay considering they have you doing a little bit of everything.

Jobs at Express
Low paying job for hours of hard work
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - West Los Angeles, CA - January 14, 2023
Although the discount was nice, it was tons of standing and walking and dealing with customers who could sometimes be unreasonable. Some managers were great, and others not so much.

Bad Place to work
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Mission Viejo, CA - January 13, 2023
Really bad place to work, really bad Store Manager, bad pay, don't really learn anything. Nobody really works, nobody really cares about the people. And it gets boring doing the same thing over and over again, not challenging at all.

Good
Team Leader (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - January 13, 2023
Great place to work I loved every part of working there. If I had to choose I would go there. Best discounts plus the bonus of it is being in a relaxed environment

Fun workplace
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - New Jersey - January 10, 2023
Fast past and fun work environment. Managers were excellent and involved. You can grow in this company and take on additional roles. I would recommend this as a first time job in retail.

Fun coworkers terrible management
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Queens, NY - January 7, 2023
They expect you to have no boundaries and will constantly push whatever little boundaries you have. If you’re great at the job they make you do the job of 3 people while giving others so much slack

Not the best
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - December 20, 2022
I did not working there, they only cared about credit cards and adding stress to the staff and I felt I wasn’t even treated like a human being at all. Do not recommend

Great place
Senior (Former Employee) - West Virginia - December 20, 2022
Great place to work. Nice atmosphere and really nice coworkers. Can see myself retiring from here one day. Management is cool just do your work and you will be ok

Good job if you like retail sales.
Store associate (Former Employee) - New York State - December 15, 2022
I worked for this company part time while in a school than slowly advanced up to management. Great training classes and retreats for store managers.

Rude and unhelpful management
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Chicago Ridge, IL - December 14, 2022
They barely train you but expect you to be able to jump right into every task even when you have never been properly prepared for it. Certain management gives attitude and will humiliate you if you ask a question or need clarification. Some co workers made it manageable, but overall it was a bad experience. I went in there with my best attitude every shift but I learned that no one there has your back, even in front of customers. I was main cashier for many of my shifts in a row and backup was barely there. Management got annoyed when I needed them to do something on the register yet they just stand around and talk; and again they barely train you on the register so for a lot of it you’re left clueless. They make snarky comments to workers doing their job. The pay is not worth the mental toll it takes and I’m glad I left.

Stressful when understaffed
Sales Lead (Former Employee) - Fairview Heights, IL - December 13, 2022
Tends to work store managers without overtime pay over 40h a week, which led to our store not having a manager for 3 months and constant coercing and unfair pressure from managers from other stores to work open to close days from associates.
