Disorganized and Exhausting
Working here was very tiring and not worth the pay of $8.60/hr. Co-workers are not too bad and neither is management, but people call out a lot. Training is not done well, which can be stressful. During first week I believe is when they train employees on register. Credit card sign ups are definitely stressed. However, manager failed to train me on card sign ups then lowered my hours after I had no sign ups the first week. This was after I pointed out to the assistant manager that I had a customer come up and ask to sign up for one. Instead of showing me how to do it she took the customer and signed her up under her name so she would get the credit. New merchandise every week which is a pain to unload. Often two to three people left in store for close. I almost NEVER left a shift on time, especially if it was closing. Typically had to spend AN HOUR OR MORE over shift end time, sometimes even close to midnight until we could leave. Ridiculous. But the head manager always made sure to leave her shift on time, though. The last several weeks of my employment I was working way over my preferred hours. I in fact, NEVER worked a single week with my preferred hours. Last two girls hired before I left both quit the next week, and another left early, so we were very short staffed. Work-life balance was terrible, absolutely no idea when you're working. All that being said, it still wasn't the worst job I've ever had.
Pros
Break, but only with 8 hour shifts
Cons
everything
not my first pick..
Always busy, whether it was on the floor or in the back. I felt like I was doing more than what I was getting paid. Manager wasn’t that organized IMO. Some coworkers were cool. Closing shifts were hard because there were only 2 people scheduled. Usually one was cleaning while the other was closing the cash register. I thought that was kind of unfair, but we always got the job done.
Pros
Getting paid and praised by nice customers
Cons
Rude people, and being obligated to do 5 things at one time by 3 different managers.

Sales Associate Duties
Fast Paced Work Environment, Ringing Up Customers, Recovering and Cleaning up the store.
I learned that everyone doesn't have the same set of manners that I have
Some Management is inconsistent
The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the coupons and customers always want a discount
The most enjoyable part of the job is getting paid every Friday

Pros
Getting Paid every week
Cons
No Benefits, Spontaneous Work Hours
A very productive but a great place to work
The work is not hard, but is demanding. That's not a problem for a hard worker. Helping the customer can be the funniest or the most difficult part. Most of the time it will depend on your attitude. Teamwork is essential.
very fast paced
Daily work would include communication, promos, business review, payroll and ensuring that the team is in place. Filling the sales floor. ensuring that you are giving the proper guest experience.
Pros
weekly pay
Cons
the dm that is not longer with the company was not honest
terrible plpace to work
a typical work day would be terrible. they will give you inconsistent schedules and schedule you on days you say you cant work, mark you as no show/ no call even if you call.
Pros
none
Cons
everything, the manager, breaks, how the store is operated
Fast paced
I enjoyed working there. I learned a lot. I learned how to train new employees, count register. I learned how to do inventory and stock up. The reason I quit was because they would over-work me a lot, they were always understaffed. I would pull over time almost every week.
Pros
Discount
Credit Card and ok employees
If you do not feel comfortable with the idea of asking someone to apply for a credit card, do not apply for this job. It is mandatory and/or highly pressured upon the associates to meet a days goal even when you know it will hurt the customer.
Supportive
A typical day starts with working at the register: Completing transactions, doing returns/ exchanges, telling customers the deals for the day and encouraging them to apply for a card and get more discounts when approved. In between performing these transactions, I am checking with the customers in the fitting room: checking for different sizes, opinions on what they are wearing, and making suggestions to enhance their styles. I may be asked to work on "go backs", which is putting back items customers have tried on and don't want to purchase. I can also be asked to work on the "floor" where I greet customers that enter the store, ask if they need any assistance, and look for items for them.
I have learned a lot in the retail business. I have learned to problem solving skills to the retail business and my using more of my empathy to understand a customer's frustrations. Working at New York and Company made me work on my social skills and become more acquainted with the customers.
The work place culture is good, fun, and there is always a teaching moment. I have always been encourage to ask questions by my managers and co workers. Also to remember we all are supporting each other in any way we can. Sometimes it's the company you keep that make the shift pass by so quickly.
The hardest part of the job is when you deal with a customer that feels they are entitled to mistreat you because you are of service to them. Also "go backs" and folding clothes can be very difficult, especially when you take the time to organize them and the customers undo what you have done. Standing - more...
