Pros

Great company to get a good start on a career in retail management. Weather its in the visual department or as a manager in a department or operations. They coach very well here.

Cons

Long hours!! Mainly starting in October through January. Of course its considered holiday time but its a lot. A lot falls onto the managers to get floor moves, markdowns, sale sets etc. done. There is a black out time for vacations as well during October through December. Then on inventory times and special sales. Be prepared.

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.
