Pros

- great retail place to work if you need hours, very flexible if part time - great co-workers - ability to learn a great deal about the retail environment if you desire - used to have round table employee reviews but that has changed now - customers can be very sweet and fun to deal with - learn a great deal about products as well - employee discount is ok but could be much better - culture of the store is great and very welcoming, almost like a family

Cons

- general management is out to lunch and confusing - hiring is done based on criteria that isn't really relevant to the job - middle managers don't have a good grasp on how their departments are run - also middle managers put too much onus on team leads - you need to be full time to become a lead in any department - being in the Canadian store there was a lot of confusion in regards to inventory and assortment that should be carried - management is very political and you many times promotions are based on how close that person is to upper management, not actually on merit.
