Pros

Other associates are the only reason i work there. I love the clothes.

Cons

this is the most disorganized Run place there's no consistency. The main store managers most awful woman I've ever met she's constantly yelling at people berating them making you feel belittled. if you do something right its not appreciated or noticed if you do something wrong they definitely notice. Those stupid credit cards...

Pros

Weekly pay. Very cultural building. If you're lucky you'll meet some pretty decent people. A good opportunity for young people to get their feet on the ground and get the experience necessary to take somewhere else.

Cons

Micromanagement. Absolutely no support from supervisors/management. You're forced to do other people's jobs. Oh, and did I mention that they hire felons and shady people? No bonuses. Terrible raises building wide. The building closes during their "slow time" which means your forced to go home and use your personal/sick/vacation time to cover it. Or you choose to receive no pay. There are absolutely no opportunities for advancement/promotion,however, they pride themselves in promising you there is. Management doesn't know left from right. They bark orders but don't support anyone on their team. The associates that they hire are almost entirely from different countries. They work them like dogs and pay them terribly. Half of those associates are more hard working/intelligent than the arrogant pigs in management, however, they don't give them opportunities to show it.

Pros

Flexible schedule; work in different areas of the store, occasionally being able to help customers if approached. Two 15 min. breaks for a full day and a 45 min. lunch break ... good amount of time as compared to other retail stores.

Cons

Low pay, more emphasis on "loss prevention" than customer service & satisfaction; not really "trained for different areas of the store but just thrown into the position, being expected to know what to do"; no positive comments just negative when something is done wrong; being treated as "just another number" - the store having 75 employees. High rate of theft especially among employees; not appreciated; being watched by cameras!
