Ross Stores Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've been employed at Ross for a little under 3 years. It employs over 1800 employees in a 1.4 million sq. foot facility. Ross currently supplies over 1000 stores in 29 states. Our biggest responsibility at Ross is to maintain a union free environment."

"This is a good starter company, I started in 2008 and have been employed with them for five years now. I have moved up to Assistant store manager, and I believe that it is time for me to look for something else in my career field. If you are looking for a retail position, Ross is a good company to start with and move up. You will learn how the retail world works, and especially get the people and management skills that will last throughout your retail career."

"I worked for Ross for 3 1/2 years. The benefits the company offered were good however the leadership structure was impossible. You never knew who to report to. We were given direction from District Mgr., Human Resource Mgr, Loss Prevention Mgr. Regional Manager and no one was ever on the same page. Direction was always different. It was very confusing because Loss Prevention and Human Resources were not Merchandisers and it created constant double work."

"Again, lots of good people, but wow is the management terrible. Baaaaaaaaaaaad"

What don't you like about working at Ross Stores?

"There is a very, VERY big need for proper leadership. The manager is constantly at odds with her main key-holder (I believe that's what they call it), and there's a very big gap in communication, as in, it's non-existent, a lot of presumptions are thrown around with no real decision being made. One of the key-holders, which just so happens to be the one we deal with most of the time, is completely rude. Her attitude and comments to the ENTIRE crew is simply immature and unfounded. She needs a chill pill. There is a constant need for speed, but it's totally illogical. They expect us to finish a truck, process and run all of the merchandise while we don't even have half the people we need. I think they have re-hired, and fire more than a dozen people over a very short window."
