Pros

Pretty good pay for a retail job.

Cons

Don’t think about employee needs. Make you work unreal hours as salary team because they refuse to allocate hours to stores but still demand the same amount of work as the stores that receive unlimited payroll. They expect everything but give you zero resources. This is part of the reason they pay so well.

Pros

Fantastic Campus with beautiful gym and facilities Work/Life Balance Equity and Bonus structure

Cons

Politics, Politics, Politics. It’s not what you know on the merchandising side, it’s who you know. With such an emphasis on promoting from within their MTP crews they forget about those that have been in retail longer than some of these kids have been alive. 30 somethings are promoted to Directors, DMM, and GMM with no real retail experience other than what they’ve learned from other political leaders in the company. Heavily focused on the merchant side of the organization and rarely listens to the advice of the planning organization. Upper level managers are too afraid to push back or ask question of Ed Stack when he gives direction. Too many “yes men/women” that just take their marching orders from an ever changing merchandising philosophy from the top. Too much time wasted going ditch to ditch on merchandising initiatives creating unrealistic expectations on the planning and allocations team.
