Pros
Good for a dose of reality of the real world. Flexible with schedules. 20-30 pecent discount. Great employees and ASMs.
Cons
The store manager is one of the rudest, most insincere, and obnoxious people I have ever met. The hours can be horrible. They schedule people to work until 10:00 or 11:00 at night and sometimes have the same people come back at 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning. There is a huge gap in communication between corporate, managers, and associates. Nepotism and popularity contests run amuck as well. The work is not evenly distributed amongst the employees so the same people get stuck with the same grunt work. The schedules are posted 1-2 days in advance for the following week making it virtually impossible to plan anything. The equipment is completely outdated. The bathrooms, fitting rooms, and break room are impossibly disgusting and depressing. The A/C is ALWAYS broken. There have been a few employees who haveactually vomitted or fainted by the heat and we arent allowed to have fans either. The company prides itself on "going green" yet continues to waste so much paper on futile magazines, paper folding shirts, and markdown lists. All in all working here, I feel like its the blind leading the blind. For most of its associates, they do not get compensated for the hard work they do. The only thing I can say about this job is that its a great motivator to move on to something else. I have had a couple of different types of jobs and hands down this is the worst company Ive ever worked for.
