Overall Reviews at Ross Dress For Less in Goleta, CA

It's okay for a first job
Working for this company can be pretty easy going, but if there are not enough people staffed it can be rough. In the store I worked at, most employees were college students, who needed flexible schedules due to their classes, for this the scheduling of shifts was great. If you wanted more hours, you could almost always get more by asking a manager.
The downside of this job: you do not get paid enough for everything you put up with. Rude customers who yell at you, throw stuff at you, etc. On top of that, you are not always well staffed which means you will most likely be tasked with doing three or more different tasks when you only have enough time for 1, and that's assuming you are not in charge of covering breaks and lunches for front-end or fitting room. And raises? Don't even think about it. The most you'll get is a dollar more than what you started with if you started as a regular associate.

The only goid thing of working here is the employee discount
They overwork the employees,the pay is bad they dont give enough hours, even if you are a full time worker, they steal hours from the employees hours worked to stay in budget,they dont let you use your sick hours even if you acrued more than 100 and when you quit you dont get paid those hours...is the WORST place to work, all managers only see to benefit the company or themselves never to benefit the employee...I wasted 3 years of my life working for a company that is not worth it
ProsThe emplyee discount
ConsBad pay, not enough hours, no benefits

Stressful and poor management
When I worked at Ross it was a very stressful environment and they were always shorted staff. Even though management was nice they were to laid back since employees would always be late or not show up for their shift. It felt like it was always disorganized since they have you run around cleaning the aisles and call you to the cashier to ring customers up.

Low hours, great coworker
Not enough pay, only get to work 2 days for 4 hours with open availability. I think because no sales but yet the stores look messy and I can help but leadership has other priorities I guess.
ProsDiscount
ConsHours, low pay, benefits, management, no engagement, no one cares tbh.

Great Customer Service Job
I loved my job and all of the customers that I met when I worked at Ross. I wish that I could have had a better relationship with the managers, but my coworkers made going to work worth it.

Stressful
Extremely exhausting with no room for growth. Micromanaging. Customer were often rude. Hours run extremely late. Very unpleasant experience. Night shifts were the worse.
