  "Pay more - get more...."
  Nice employee discount of 20%
  Pressure of Explorer Sign ups
  Employees have to clean the bathrooms
  You cant expect to get good people or keep them if you pay minimum wage. This store is fun to work at but it requires people who care. Nobody will care if they have the feeling the pay is not right. That was my reason to leave.
  Also, they are putting way to much weight on the Explorer sign ups. Basically they are making it to be your fault if the numbers are down, but don't see that it's the programms fault when people don't wanna sign up. The programm could be so much more attraktive if somebody would seriously start looking into it and start compairing it with other companys.
  Also, the store doesn't have a daily or weekly cleansing crew. So you as an employee are the cleaning staff as well. Floor, bathrooms etc. all your job as well. For a minimum wage?? Wow....

  I worked at Cost Plus full-time (Less than a year)
  Making head-way into streamlining procedures
  Good benefits, even for part-timers
  As with all retail, hours were restricted and people's duties became stretched beyond efficiency. Goals became increasingly hard to hit because of the reduced man-power. This is the way all retail has been trending though.
  Realize what you're asking of each person and be realistic about what goals can actually be attained. Don't forget that we're all individuals working for the same goal and truly uplifting those below you (personal praise and genuine recognition) go a long way.

  Good for going to school, work 2-3 days a week, weekends off.
  Minimum wage and sometimes the workload can be overwhelming but not too bad.

  "Its Retail"
  Fellow employees are great (store specific obviously). Can be a variety of activities for a change of pace.
  Going to need push their rewards program/texting program which people don't want.

  Former Employee - Gourmet Department Head in Tucson, AZ
  Meeting new people, employee discount
  Not getting promoted, lack of hours, no appreciation. Pressure to enroll customers to the WME discount program.
  This is not the company that you want to work for if you want to be promoted. It's unfortunate that they don't promote long term employees. Doesn't look good on the company's part that I found more con's than pro's after almost 6 years.
  Sit down and talk to your employees and actually listen to them. Take a chance on your employees who were there the longest.

  "Assistant Store Manager/Supervisor"
  Former Employee - Supervisor in Fort Wayne, IN
  Great culture and cool stuff!
  Unloading the heavy wooden furniture off the truck was sometimes difficult...

  gave me an opportunity to become a store manager and loved the merchandise.
  A lot of complacency at the supervisor level and created road blocks for others to advance.
