Pros

Great discount on Athleta, Gap, Banana Republic, outlet stores, sometimes discount at Piperlime. You also get the first shot at new merchandise before it hits the sales floors. Free exercise classes are offered in the store or at nearby studios where classes might otherwise be $20+. You'll make friends with other employees, which makes it more enjoyable to come into work. Awesome return policy keeps customers happy and made working the register easier. Management used incentives like gift cards to encourage us to hit sales goals. Good overall work environment.

Cons

Starting pay was low, as can be expected in retail. Not likely to be promoted. Lack of consistent hours on a week-to-week basis--mostly only the management is given consistent, full time hours.
