Pros

Exciting fashion coming in regularly. Fellow employees were lovely and we became close. Lots of training. Emphasis on accountability. Great benefits and good pay compared to some other retail stores.

Cons

Disgruntled customers every day. Keeping store clean is a battle. Management often tells you that you are not performing well enough, rather than telling you what you are doing well. Extremely strict about register issues. Management sometimes plays favorites.

Pros

you learn a lot about clothes

Cons

literally the worst job i can possibly imagine. you’re expected to be on top of register, buying in clothes, customers stealing, dressing room, talking to the customers on the floor, counting in and out the money, etc 100% all of the time. they expect you to overextend yourself the entire shift. i have never had to be on top of so many things in my life. i have more responsibilities than the MANAGERS at my last job do for far less pay. and we are in downtown portland so we get a lot of theft and have to deescalate mental health crises constantly. every employee i’ve talked to has agreed with me that they’ve never felt like a bad employee before working here. i pride myself on being smart and helpful and quickly learning the rules of any environment im in but i’ve never felt more stupid in my life. there is literally no time to take a breath in the entire 8hr shift
