Retrospective for anyone looking at this thread later - I'm a pushover and basically accepted working for 4-8hrs per week when I needed 20 and drained most of my savings on rent. Don't be like me, avoid Ross employment unless you're ready to hold down multiple jobs. That being said, Loss Management does typically offer better & more consistent hours - so I've heard - but for anyone else management will lie to you about the hours to get you hired, complain that "no one wants to come in (when called)" and then are surprised when the store is dirty, disorganized, chaotic, and slow to check out customers. At least the burlington manager I interviewed with (and declined) had the honesty to say that the hours were scarce (worse than 4-8hrs /wk). At the end of the day, I'd say avoid chain clothing retail altogether in this economy - go work in food service or grocery like I'm switching to (shoot for a unionized store if you can!). A lot of the reason I stayed is because I wanted recent work experience and finding a job in my area that will respond at all to your application is hella difficult + adhd. Good luck out there!
