When I went to this store they had no working bathrooms due to raw sewage that had overflowed. Sewer flies we we everywhere. The emergency lights did not work. The fire extinguishers were outdated by two years. It took over four hours to get the trash out. Over 300 boxes to receive. Plus another 250 to get out.
Company cares about $$$. If you work for this company in a target store, a high theft store, if the number for the theft does not go down you lose your job! You only have one year. They do not tell you this when you take the job.
In Massachusetts they only let six people work all day, this includes managers, so they do not have to pay time and a half.
As a salaried manager I was told I had to work for weeks open to closes. I was the only manager in the store. Went over a month before I got a day off.
Receiving is very old school. You get a po. Take the po number and get a different number. Count the items in the box. Enter by hand in the system what you recieve.Print  out tickets with the bar codes on it. All Apparell items have to have hang tags. More wasted time using a tagging gun and then sensor ing.
Theft they do not help you with even if you are a target store.customers swear, use racial slurs, throw used tampons in clothes, do drugs in the dressing rooms ect.
All they say is this is the area we are in. Oh well.
At a managers meeting stores had mice, cockroaches, and other vermin. They had been asking for months for help. No one took care of these issues.
Very mean unsanitary company to work for.

I had taken the position as a sales representative at this company. The way that their system of management works caused a lot of problems between the workers. A lot of the workers worked in cliques rather than as a team as a whole. Only because everyone was competing to take managerial positions. Also, there would be three to four managers on the floor sometimes and they would contradict each other in what they assigned as work to each person to do. When a person needed help, they would call over the speaker to get a manager and sometimes they would never come to help. Mostly, because the managers would hangout in the back garage door to smoke and talk until their shift was over. They would force the people below them to watch the front so that they would be able to continue hanging out in the back. The customers usually left unhappy with the attitudes of the employees. I still enter that business looking to purchase items and the attitude has not changed across employees. My work was never recognized. For example, I had taken it upon myself to organize the entire clearance section multiple times when I had nothing to do which had never been done before. I had also come in every single time they needed someone to cover a shift even if it was a day I had off.

A typical day at work consist of completing the daily tasks. Often, it also involved teaching the new members how things are done. 

I learned the value of being good at your specific job. At the store, there is sometimes many things to do and not only one person can do it. So, I learned that by doing my job well, I was doing a big part. One thing I didn't like though, was that I had to do other jobs sometimes too which took time from my main job. 

Management really sets the tone for the way the store operates. I was under management for two different managers, and I got to see the difference. At my store, my current manager is a good one. He made sure we knew what to do. 

The culture was too loose. There wasn't a work bond that connected us. We were able to hang around and even mess around, but I felt like a mission driven bond would have been better. 

The hardest part of the job was trying to get things done on time. Meeting the deadlines. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was the feeling you get when you complete something. 

The work itself is doable and easy to understand quickly. However, The corporate culture is extremely outdated, with many senior leaders disconnected from how modern teams operate in 2025. There’s little understanding of current trends, innovation, or how to work effectively with younger generations. Rather than listening and evolving, leadership often defaults to “what’s always been done,” which stifles growth and creativity.

If you’re not favored by the CEO or top execs, your experience can quickly become miserable. Some members of upper management regularly make inappropriate or tone-deaf remarks, seemingly unaware of how offensive or unprofessional they are.

The company is rigid and old school to a fault — strict about being at your desk all day, every day, with little flexibility for personal responsibilities. Leaving early or arriving late, even for valid reasons, is often met with side-eyes or backlash. It’s not an environment that fosters trust, innovation, or inclusion.

A typical day at work would consist of processing merchandise and  making sales. The main thing this company pushed is making sales. Sometimes to the point of being uncomfortable. The workplace culture (at least the one I was working in) was very catty and drama filled. The employees always had something going like it was high school. The hardest part of the job was keeping the customers from shoplifting. As a manager it made it harder for me to do my job because I had to be in 3 different places at once. I'd say the most enjoyable part was putting together the fashion. Loved shopping at work. All in all it was an ok company to work for I just felt that the DM and GM both could do better at listening to their employees when voicing an opinion about the terrible work environment. They do nothing, might even help keep up confusion if I had to say so myself. What did I learn?? How to have thick skin and know that everyone does not have your best interest at heart. Thanks Madrags.

It was very resourceful to receive a job because of being a “walk-in.” The manager was kind and patient. She was prompt about hiring me as I continued to show interest in this position.

We were like a family in our co-worker group. We encouraged and helped each other. The work environment was kind of hostile, but it was to be expected in the North Memphis - Frayser Area.

It would have been good to have a greater variety of music playing while working - some Christian selections would have been helpful.

The most important thing I’d say is that Madrag should be vigilant about their Managers training to the Sales Associates. We should be following the Madrag Sales/Employee Structure that is on the wall in most Madrag Companies.

Overall, it was a good “temporary position.”

A typical day at work would be receiving in our daily shipment. Processing/monitoring payroll and budget hours. Setting and maintaining the sales floor, while giving  outstanding customer service. What I've learned in working for this company is you are only as strong as your weakest link. You need to have a strong positive team to have a productive store. However, management was unorganized. and they changed often. My sales associates was staff of young ladies, and for some this was there first job. I was a store manager,coach, and mentor. The hardest part of my job was the commute. With having to drive an hour to and from work everyday and working 10+ hour shifts made it difficult at home. The most enjoyable part of my job was helping customers with there specific needs. I enjoyed the customer and associate interactions.

It's a trap at first everything seems good but then you find out the truth. They like to hire young college students overwork them and don't pay them enough. The store manager was horrible, acts like a 15 years old when she is almost 60. She acts nice to your face but likes to talk bad about her employees with the ones she likes at the moment. The moment you are not convenient for her she gets rid of you. She fired 2 assistant manager in 2 months.The turnover rate must be horrible, I've seen 5 people leave in the span of 4 months. Discount doesn't do that much. If the shipment is big you are expected to process clothes while you cashier and attend the fitting rooms at the same time. They had me receiving shipment when I was an associate for months even thought I was not supposed to because that is a manager's duty, instead of giving me a raise first. The only good thing about working here is the other associates.

Working for 10 Spot was quite stressful, especially for a first-time worker. I worked at 10 Spot as a summer job for 2017, the manager and the other employees knew I was new at the job yet they barely taught me anything. The only thing they taught me how to do is putting the price tags on the clothings, which was my favorite part of the job. Whenever I had a job to take over my manager was never clear on what to do.
I remember one time she put me up on the cashier, which I had zero experience. I asked for assisant and help yet no one helped me and it was humiliating standing in front of a long line of customers, not knowing what to do. It got the manager very annoyed, so she ended up putting me back in the stock rooms. I enjoyed working in the stock rooms, it was peaceful not having to hear my manager complaints, knowing it was my first time.

Most of the time at work I censored new clothing and managed fitting rooms. I only worked around 4 hours a day and 3-4 days a week.

I learned how to manage my time because we have to leave the store at a certain time after closing.

I loved my manager, she was reasonable with timing and understood when emergencies happened. She'd make sure I did everything right and within a reasonable time.

It was a large store, many people worked there a day. The customers weren't my favorite part of the work experience. 

The hardest part was cleaning up the store at night. Many customers were messy and left clothes everywhere

I liked my co-workers, many of us hung out outside of work and we cooperated with each other very well during work.
