Pros

The discount is amazing. For your first four weeks of employment you receive a 50% discount on the merchandise, and 30% thereafter. It's a very fun and sociable place to work and for being sales and customer driven they're fairly laid back. No bank account? No problem. You get a super cute, and, free debit card that you can add additional direct deposits on from other employers. * I would say that if you choose a retail environment, you're best bet is a smaller retail store like B&BW or even Victoria's Secret. I also need to mention before I forget, you always get a training booklet for each week educating you on new products, new sales, etc. Communication is never an issue here.

Cons

The pay is what you would expect of a retail job - a tad over minimum wage, the scheduling is a bit all over the place. If you're added on as a part-time employee that means PART-TIME as in maybe six hours a week. This is not a job to rely on for a supplemental income or as a primary income -- unless you're a manager or lead, of course. Another thing I strongly dislike is the biweekly pay, but I think that is pretty standard for retail companies. Lastly, they don't drug screen which I don't approve of at all. You're handling customers, cash, and face it the merchandise isn't cheap - drug testing might be a good idea.
