Pros

- Good place to work if you are in high school/college and need a part-time job. - 40% discount.

Cons

Employees don't get trained to do their jobs very well and then get blamed for it. I understand that they are budgeting hours, but they can have the new hires come in and train when it's not busy. At my store, management continues to hire people that are untrustworthy or can't perform the job well. I understand there will be some bad apples, but after a while, this is management's fault. Management needs to use better judgement when it comes to selecting new hires. We also have a problem with theft. Theft is hard to prevent when we are under staffed and have many tasks to complete for the day. Turnover is very high. I have been with the company for 8 months and nine people have left since then. Two of those people were in management. Management at the store level on up don't care that employees are leaving. They just hire new employees only to see them walk away within a month to six months. If Body Central wants sales to improve, they should create an environment that will want people to stay and do their jobs. The overall environment is unprofessional and unorganized. All of these problems are very easy to solve, but there seems to be no motivation to solve them.

Manager was supportive and coworkers were nice

I personally wish I had more time working the register. Working at the mall, I had to deal with teenagers trying to steal clothing.
