What is the best advice you could give someone during their first month at Ross Stores?

At my store, unless the assistant manager likes you and you can forget about getting anything but closing shifts. You will get an erratic schedule at best, even if full time your hours will get randomly drastically cut and when you ask about it they will just shrug and say oh well we had to cut hours this week. I was told i would never be employee of the month because I didn't straighten the hangers right, but the favorite employees never got griped at about leaving hangers laying around. When the store got reset I was the only employee scheduled overnights all 5 nights to help do it, they didn't even ask me if I was able to. I was told to take a picture of my schedule every week because the assistant manager, after posting the schedule, would randomly change peoples hours without even telling them or changing it on the schedule and then when confronted about it would shrug and say oh you must have read your schedule wrong.

Look for another job. The company culture does now reward creativity.

Smile and nod and do NOT ask about your hours.
