Cost Plus Employee Reviews for Cashier

What do you like about working at Cost Plus?

"Because I was one of the people they hired to help set up the store my job wasn't bad. It was a lot of moving boxes, cutting them open, and then stocking the items where they belonged. But my coworkers were probably the best thing about working there. There was also a generous employee discount, not that I ever got to use it."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Only bother showing up if you are totally willing to put up with managers who have communication skills that are worse than a toddler's."

What don't you like about working at Cost Plus?

"The managers lacked basic communication skills. If your schedule was changed, you never heard about it; until you showed up at the time you were told to be there and find out that they made it an hour later, and run 2 hours later then what they had originally said. They had NO respect for student's schedules, high school or otherwise. Directions were vague, and you would hear about it later if you didn't do what they thought they said, but never ever mentioned to you. You were being constantly pushed to do things faster and faster because everyone there needs to have a scene of urgency and to be honest I'm shocked no one fell and died while we were setting up the store. Cleaning was unsanitary, you weren't offered gloves, and I doubt they would have even given them to you if they did. The open door policy they claim to have is completely nonexistent, so if you confide in them about something that they did that you weren't too pleased with, be prepared to clean out your locker and head home!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would make a point to actually care about my employees and let them know about any changes or anything right off the bat."
