      i love going to work because the managers are so nice and easy to get along with. overall a great company and i really enjoy my time there.

      Cons

      they wont hire anyone for cosmetics and sometimes as a part time worker i feel like i am being taken advantage of because they make me work long hours but dont promote me to full time.

      Pros

      A lot of freedom. Associates have a code that enables them to perform returns and exchanges, reduce prices, allow coupons to work...Basically anything that a manager can do, an associate can. This is convenient and makes for a happy customer...And it's a good feeling that they trust your judgement and discretion. A very teamwork-focused environment. Yes, you are competing for sales, but in your department it is up to you and your team to figure out strategies for completing sale sets, wall changes, etc. Also, as long as your floor is covered, there is no issue with you going to the bathroom or taking a break to get a drink of water or rest your feet. Managers make sure you are doing your job but for the most part it's very lax.

      Cons

      Since you have so much freedom, managers mostly just don't want to be bothered and have very high expectations. Pay is minimal, and if you are working in the wrong department, it's can be very difficult to make your sales (which results in pay cuts). Pay-for-Performance works to your advantage in the ladies department, but against you in departments such as accessories or intimates.
