Pros

they have great health benefits, decent vacation time.

Cons

The employees in my store would through you under the bus any chance they could get. If you completed a task watch out for others trying to clam they did it themselves and never touched the project. stock was a joke a specialized team called ROCC was established and there was training but after the company was sold the team basically did what they wanted to and most of the stock was left to the floor employees. I put in for two different management positions and was turned down because the manager was not wanting to train in store managers. always brought in from other stores or form outside the company. when Iasked to transfer to another store for management training with the regional permission I was denied. There is no team work and management overlooks everything. They changed regional managers just because one didn't have a bachelors degree even though he was doing a hell of a job.

Regrettable at the end but the start was great.

Pros

Honestly before being bought out by Sycamore there were multiple pros. Upper management was not the best and ultimately why I think it was sold but it had always found a way.

Cons

Trying to compete with Macy’s from an infrastructure stand point and it’s just not a winning strategy. Blaze your own trail and quit being a follower. Especially of a company that has a failing strategy.

Pros

Really only the benefits you get.

Cons

Terrible management, they will deduct your pay if you don’t meet ridiculous goals, they only come to you with negative stuff. Never congratulatory.
