Fun place to work but management was terrible

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I would come in and count the drawers from the previous night. Order money for the week. Count the safe and do deposits. I also did product replenishment and inventory loss prevention. Recovery was done at the end of every night and the store cleaned before anyone could leave. The management was not organized and many times we were short handed due to people calling in and no one coming in to replace them. Co-workers didnt like the job but we loved each other. The most enjoyable was the customer service counter. I got to work with the best we had there and help implement new Operation procedures.

Pros

great breaks

Cons

terrible management

Twas good

Management was a bit out of sorts every so often but it was a good place I’d go back if needed. Fast paced but the people were nice and the discount was fantastic

Horrible company

The worst company they will fire you through text and email and not even tell you… they force you to be robots and not have friends or speak to anyone

Pros

There are none

Cons

It will cause major health issues mentally and physically

Don’t do it

They rarely scheduled me to work. The only benefit was double discount days. They let anyone be a part of management - poorly trained staff and unclean.

Productive and fun environment

Could always get hectic but for the most part it’s not so bad of a job. The pay is decent as well as the hours, and there sure is a lot of customer interaction.

About Ross

Working for Ross is an okay experience, the pay is awful, hard to live off of. I mean, I pay my own bills and rent and never have enough afterwards for groceries. The regional manager and zone admin plus whoever is above them refuse to raise the pay. Even though other places have raised their starting pay to at least $20 or higher, they don’t want to pay their associates more than $13-$14 an hour. Even the assistant manager(s) don’t get paid very well here nor do the area managers. All anybody who is above the store managers cares about is payroll which I get but they could care less about how the employees of this business are getting by based off of the pay. Genuinely, the associates could be homeless and starving and the higher ups could care less. As long as the regional manager and any higher ups are living in an apartment that is $10k a month, nothing else matters.

Pros

Nothing

Stressful

Working at Ross actually just means working yourself out and always being stressed out with a lot of pressure in customer service. You need a very thick skin to be able to endure all of this.You are very rarely praised for your performance. As a supervisor, you are completely excluded from management, although in my opinion it is very important to get all the updates from above.How else are you going to update your cashiers when you're not even one? The communication there is zero! Not a fair working atmosphere. Very unfair pay!

Pros

There are none

Cons

Always dissatisfaction in all areas

Buckle Up

If you can find something else you are better off. Bare bottom pay, retaliation in the workplace, HR is a formality and expect to give up your family and social life. Nice coworkers, bad management and even worse upper management. Expect to be worked to the bones for pennies on the dollar, no raises because of bonuses and treated like absolute trash. Sweat shop work with very little pay. Better off working in fast food because you will be paid more.

Pros

good coworkers

Cons

everything else

Horrible experiences

Don't do their dd's uid line pay variable are horrible functions that benefit your job performance greatly effect the dept as a whole negatively, while the functions that help the dept look good unit wise hurt your personal numbers making bonuses unachievable, i hit my 60 days with the company and had 100% on accuracy for personal audits while being at roughly 65% for production and told to bring it up and getting rushed making a mistake then being told that it was a verbal warning and if i get 3 in a month its a final warning and possible termination the main reason this job sucks is basically because you are a effectively an inbound qa person that gets judged as if you were just a basic production person

Okay place

Okay place managers have there moments but dont they all. Customers are fun to interact with unless you get those karens then it isn’t fun. Great deals.

Cool if you’re out of highschool

Honestly, This is isn’t a job to have long term. It’s good if you’re in college. Flexible hours but you gotta deal with people that are cheap. You get to learn different positions but pay sucks

Not a bad place to work; Not a good place either

No on the job training. The only "training" you get is watching the orientation videos. Management offers little to no help, and one manager in particular gets upset when questions are asked. They don't understand basic communication. Complete and utter lack of professionalism. Aside from that, the day goes by quick.

Meh

First job, minimum pay, odd hours. Bad management. Would not recommend anyone to do their first job or any job here. No advancement, high turnover, and a simple NO.

Good Pay, Bad Environment

The pay was pretty decent for the hours, but I was the only english speaker. My supervisor never explained anything to me in english and always picked on me for little things.

Awful management

Manager wasn't the best and would cut my hours to look good for the payroll. Working there the coworkers were great but only having a part time job working only 12 hours a week to have even more cut off was ridiculous.

Environment was good

Work is work, but all the employees there were very friendly, from regular associates to management. Would recommend. The only things is you have to deal with a lot of customers

Good Atmosphere

A typical day for an Operations Intern is printing out reports and telling associates where they’ll be working for the day. The workers there are super sweet and will always be there for you if you have any questions.
