Pros

Good benefits and vacation time Great associate discount Fun job-exposure to vendors, stores and product

Cons

Managers do not develop their assistants Encourage cross functional movement but do not follow through Value external hires from other retailers more than internal talent Not a competitive salary if you did not come from another retailer-if you did: they will pay really well No transparency into other facets of the company. If you get hired in merchandising you're stuck there

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
