Pros

Every tool that you might need to do your job is right there in the store. The company is very dedicated to learning and development and helping you succeed. Very very generous associate discount and gratis as well as compnay organized contests and rewards. The company cares about what is happening out in the stores.

Cons

Last minute changes can often disrupt personal plans. Floor changes on holidays and special days makes it difficult for some associates.

Pros

The 30% BBW and 20% VS discount. Working with peers, people you can relate to and become good friends with. Gratis. (Free stuff)

Cons

Managers and CSL's get away with EVERYTHING. One night, the CSL sat in the back all night and I was the only one on the floor, made the segment all by myself in 40 minutes, and all she said was "I owe you starbucks". (Which I never got) Call ins (Usually the only hours you get, unless you are a favorite) For all the hassling of customers and pushing we do, there should be some sort of commission or incentives for associates. LOW pay. Minimum wage. For me, no hours during the week (except maybe a call in) and then my Saturdays have one long shift, and friday and Sunday, both call ins. Going to school during the week, this really makes me have NO life what so ever. FLOORSETS!!!! Always scheduled til 12, never leave before 2 am. On Sundays. Even if you don't have "overnight" availability.

Management Friends Only Get Hours

Pros

Discount on product, great at getting time off when needed (because you rarely get hours if your not a friend of management)

Cons

If your not a friend of someone in management after Holidays or Semi Annual Sale your lucky if you get 4 hours a week to work. Very unfair the way the give hours out, doesn't matter how long you have worked for the store.
