Pros

A person can learn a lot about retail from these stores. And the culture of the company is really really good. It might depend a lot on your manager and zone of stores.

Cons

Culture consistency and salary. Salary is too less.

Pros

Meeting new people everyday and enganging with customers made work alot more fun. Some of the best people to work with in the company.

Cons

The only con to working here would be the long hours of standing and it may sometimes hurt to stand. My advise is to get better shoes.

Pros

Some limited flexibility in setting own schedule. Employee discount makes the already great deals incredible.

Cons

Upper management is more concerned with self advancement than performing their roles adequately or even competently. Complete lack of team spirit among management with several of the members hustling to simply make themselves look good. English skills among upper management are middling to poor for a team spearheading a retail expansion to the US. This led to significant lost time due to inability to communicate clearly, and a feeling of inferiority American employees, as conversations among non native English speakers invariably defaulted to French or Spanish. Constant introduction of new top priorities created lack of focus and progress for the entire organization. All decision making is at the whim of the CEO who provides no context to his outlandish demands, nor will he speak with anyone but a handful of the expatriate management team. This is completely at odds with their often stated ideal of a "flat" organization, where everyone is supposed to feel empowered to take the actions they feel will make a difference.
