Pros

As an intern, you get a competitive intern pay, $14hr, flexible schedules, great work life balance, and awesome support.

Cons

Once you switch to salaried employee, you sign your life away. You get no work/life balance, easily pushing 60 hours a week. You become a slave to the district management and have to deal with co-workers who do not have a bachelors degree. After switching to full-time, I quit like most recent graduates. Run!!!!!!!!

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.
