I'm not really sure if this should be two stars or three so I went with average. Within 5 months we've had two top tier managers fired, two leads, and at least 7-8 associate workers. There doesn't seem to be any major stability as far as who is in charge and every time someone else is in charge the is an entire revamping on training. Also, with the amount of time I have been there I have been promised hours to be able to pay for my bills for months, but they always seem to go to someone else even though I am one of the most available people. For some reason I can't get over one day a week, with a four-hour shift, on a bi-weekly pay period. They also, don't tell you about your benefits unless it's the 401k.
It is a nice change of pace from jobs that always work you into burning out, but it isn't worth it if you aren't going for a lead, or manager, position. The POS and MPOS is pretty straight forward and uncomplicated. And everything else is uncomplicated if you are willing to learn.

I work as a free-lance stylist at TCP, so I get booked on a week to week basis. Perks of the job include an in-house fitness center, reimbursed lunches, and a near by bus stop with all-day service to the heart of Manhattan (great for meeting friends or going on a solo adventure after work). Down sides are inconsistent hours and a clique filled work environment, so often times only the bosses favorite employees get hired (some are favored for personality rather than quality of work). Another issue: because I'm free-lance, I don't receive any benefits or PTO. For taxes I file as self-employed, and despite being in a low income bracket (and being a college student) I still need to pay 15% in taxes. I'd recommend working here! It's just important to stay friendly and be part of the group, but avoid partaking in the daily drama at all costs.
The store I work at has a large amount of customers, which is fine, but it is often appears as if the store had been hit by a tornado, and it is often discouraged for employees to go home before the store is entirely recovered. Furthermore the store is extremely understaffed which also contributes to the negative emotions which the employee feels go their job.
