Pros
Closing at 8 pm. Many of the customers are kind to employees. Pay isn’t bad
Cons
In the past, TCS was a great inspiring place to work. It felt like an extended family. It had some of the issues still seen: with the full timers, and occasional issues with upper management. But you could always talk to mgmt and you would feel valued, heard, and that you mattered. Since many changes have taken place it feels much more like a factory and far more about the nose to the grindstone precedence than about human beings. They still are for customer satisfaction, but it isn’t like before, it’s more like have to than want to by floor management. It stinks that things are a mess. We used to do front end straightening as a team now it is just left to the Night Shift prime timers after they finished cleaning up gross toilets and bathrooms and the break room. (Quite often these folks also just finished a full time job someplace else. ) It just seems like more support/nicer attitude could be given out by sales floor leader teams and maybe more from store management also. I get the emphasis on closet designers to a point, it’s one of the reasons the store exists, but prime timers who do not design are still worthy of fair treatment. Unfortunately, anyone who designs is automatically given praise 1000% higher just for existing than the “little prime timers” who are barely noticed or recognized unless they are favored by management and sales floor leaders. The whole spark that set us apart in the retail world is gone. Maybe it left with Kip? It saddens me and I miss the good old days.
