Have any of you been offered tuition reimbursement or 100% free tuition through work? According to ChatGPT, there are plenty of major retail companies that offer this, but in my experience of working in 3 different stores, it's never been the case. Share with me how you did it if you've managed to convince work to make this happen for you!

I haven't run into that myself, so I suspect it's one of those things that ChatGPT just makes up. Perhaps some chains offer it for people in the management track. It would be nice if the company invested in people on the lower rungs of the ladder, but I don't think that's going to happen.

I have found that I never meet the requirements that they're looking for. No matter what I do. It feels like they actually only provide tuition reimbursement for a very, very small group of people.

There have been places that offered this over the years, but it seems like it was very difficult to get them to actually reimburse you. A lot of places want you to take courses that will further your current career with them.

I worked for three companies that had this program it I never used it because I already had my tuition paid for. But I knew some people that did use it and it was fairly easy. I would apply then contact HR and get a follow up. They should be helpful to you.

Yeah, same here, I’ve worked at a few big retail places and never seen full tuition covered. I think it exists more on paper than in reality for most store-level employees. Would love to hear if anyone actually got it to happen!
