Pros
Good insurance (BCBS), actively updating business practices, opportunities for promotion.
Cons
Horrible pay: the amount of work forced on management is not worth the energy spent trying to keep the store going. The lack of pay roll to hire and keep the store staffed isn't conducive to support sales and maintenance of merchandise. In an effort to streamline employees, back of house teams have been eliminated, causing management/small staff to responsible for updating promos, remerchandising store, ringing customers, as well as processing the shipment deliveries. There isn't enough time in the day for everything asked of one person but a stressful culture of unreasonable expectations permeates the stores. Technology is outdated but the company insists on wasting money on new innovations in the outlets as opposed to their flagship department stores. No company match on 401k, no bonuses. Employees have no real incentive to try harder than necessary. District management is useless for problem solving in any regard. Overall, corporate seems to be mismanaged and uncoordinated.
