Pros

Learned a lot about running a business and different types of retail merchandising. Made decent money over the years.

Cons

Almost everything—they don’t take care of their internal all stars very well, every little promotion is jumping through hoops while someone from a Office Depot or sports authority is hired with no clue or no desire to do well or care. Continuing to cut management positions and payroll and continuing to ask for the same product with services and customer service, not to mention more gameplans with no apparel hours. Also no accountability for ASMs or store managers who are complete failures, they get chance after chance to keep running their stores into the ground. Also—pathetic discount, and pathetic culture where nobody is recognized unless it’s forced upon and never feels genuine.

Pros

The people tend to be good. Company has good insurance. Pay over time isn't bad. Loved the in store management.

Cons

The hiring of staff that is unqualified to even tie their shoes on straight is ridiculous. Pay is competitive to an extent but depends on how bad a store is hurting for new associates, if you get a higher starting pay. Most times younger people wouldn't show up for shifts and they won't pay older people more that would show up. Lost out on alot of quality associates over a few dollars due to that. Corperate expect tasks to get finished even when cutting store hours down to the point where 3 people work sells floor out of 6 departments including the one cashier that isn't supposed to leave register. If your lucky enough to get good managers (I was) they end up running back and forth with phone calls and doing ship from store so much on a timed bases because of lack of hrs for associates that their jobs are impacted and cant be done correctly as well.
