Retail - Poor management

Pros

It was a part time job. Employee discount.

Cons

Most of the managers really are not disciplined in management. Just about all the retail associates were on minimum wage. Most being in high school/college. Management treated employees like a classroom. Strict 20 minute lunches for 6-8 hr shifts.

Pros

-good discount 40% at Ck as well as other 4 locations which are bass izod van huesen and tommy hilfiger . -nothing else i can think of

Cons

-there definitely is favoritism with the manager, assistant manager and sales associates. -they dont pay well at all for how much they mark up and sell their items for -no room to grow unless manager and assistant manager leave. - hours suck part time ranging from 5 hrs-15 or 20 if they like you -will not give me hours more than twice a week and 5 hrs a day but when holidays near and even with two weeks notice they do not tolerate or take requests off. -dont even let you change schedule or switch shifts with someone if you have something really important to do even with 2 weeks notice -treat you like you are not important to them but to you calvin klein should come first before family which even corporate business/ chemical companies dont even make you do. Im an in no way biased I have worked for over 5 retail divisions in my life so far and calvin klein at the crossings would be a good place to work if you were a manager or are in high school or do not have a degree. they are very strict about everything like i said and treat you like you are a slave to ck making you work whenever they want you to but not negociating when you need a day off which is ridiculous no other company ive worked for has done that. i dont care if i get negative votes for this for speaking the truth. listen to my advice if you want an honest opinion. only work here if you are really desperate.
