Pros

The pay is decent for what you're doing. You could have worse prospects for the money. Different tasks everyday and no day is truly the same. Opportunity for advancement if you have the right director and leadership.

Cons

The work is already too much for one person. If you're faced with tough team lead staffing challenges prepare to do more team lead work and less visual merchandising. Expect challenges with fewer team members as well. Without a solid team you will struggle to get sets done and signing up efficiently. Get to know the store you're applying for and understand the challenges you might be facing. The holidays can be tough with the amount of signing. Stay organized and in constant communication within departments.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
