Pros

Great people, you learn a ton about design really quickly, paid for CAD training for me, was good for lateral growth in job title,.

Cons

Hasn't invested in updating design tools in years, still working with Adobe CS3, poor morale of workers, deadlines and meeting objectives are always unclear, poor opportunity for growth for designers looking to move upward and forward in their careers. Lots of wheel-spinning when it comes to actual work and decision-making. Poor environment for workplace innovation and new ideas.

Pros

Positive environment, great management, warm and welcoming team, cute clothes, amazing employee discount program.

Cons

Often not enough hours given to properly staff, hectic during back-to-school / holidays / black friday. Doesn't pay well enough for the amount of work required. Sales associate pay is low, so only very young people become associates, and they are slow and not so competent at getting stuff done around the store, so the majority of labor falls on managers. And we aren't paid enough.
