Culture and Values
Working at Ross was both a fun and challenging experience. The environment can be very intimidating for newcomers because after being trained you have to show that you can stand on your own two feet. And I did exactly that. I felt that working there allowed me to gain both individuality for personal reasons as well as in the store itself. I was able to rely on other employees and managers, however I made not sure not to become a burden to everyone. I did feel safe asking for help, but there were times where it was a bit difficult becuase everyone had their own tasks to complete. Nonetheless the community is strong and secure at least to me.

Pros and Cons
flexible schedule, understanding manger, time management
lower pay than expected, lack of employees

My first store was great at development. But they also paid me the bare minimum and did everything they could to not give me the raises they promised me for making the changes I delivered. My second store had zero development and had no intentions of moving anyone forward.

Pros and Cons
Gives experience in retail.
Customers are horrible and the company won't pay you for what you endure. Most stores are broken.
