Pros

Many locations and easy to transfer Good travel stipends/paid meals Gain experience as a buyer for your department

Cons

Poor employee discount Need to fit their mold (no visible tattoos) Managers have no say in merchandising/display of their departments/store Need to be fluent in Spanish if you ever really want to grow with the company Upper Management treated associates with little respect

Pros

-Nice Clothes, Shoes, Accessories, you get to see fashionable clothing in advance before it is put out to be sold -They give you uniform -Good to put on resume

Cons

Where do I start.... -Very Unstable schedule and after a while they stop going along with your availability -Compensation is not enough compared to work load -You can barely get to know or talk to your co-workers..very serious, strict, robotic culture -They expect you to know how to do everything in the store after a 5-minute training on folding clothes -Want you to go above and beyond for the company but treat the Associates like crap -During Sale they disregard the fact that your human and want you to do a lot outrageously difficult work within your shift time -If your not Spanish then forget about moving up in the company or even being liked by managers -Managers and other staff Constantly speaks Spanish to each other in front of you, then speak to you like your an idiot because you don't understand what they just said -Not once was I told I was doing a good job in the 7months I worked there -Management doesn't do anything but walk around with clip-boards or stand at the registers -They treat you like a theif, they do bag checks after your shift, cant sign out when your shift is over if they are counting money -They will find unessecarry work for you to do.. for example I had to change a huge wall of 400 retail jeans to sale jeans but then was told to change it back to retail price by another manager (no communication between managers unless its gossip) -And so many more that would be to much to write.... -Oh and crappy 15% employee discounts!

Pros

Pay+commission; sometimes made 16 dollars a day Hours Opportunity to move up in the company Fashion- always up to date with trends Honestly best job I've ever had, had to quit because of University schedule but definitely want to go back!

Cons

Discount is very little unfortunately Nothing else! It's an exceptional job. It is a fast-paced environment so if you don't like that this isn't the job for you.
