Pros

First dibs on clothes, fun job, different from most retailers, benefits, sometimes bonuses , etc.

Cons

When I first started working at Buffalo, I had the best time working there and management was professional and efficient. But over the years, management changed for the worst. They are unprofessional, unstable, gossipy and do NOT set an example. They sell things online behind the store's back, price things low for themselves, extend their holds, fight over clothes, verbally abuse their employees, and lack respect for their customers. There are countless Yelp reviews about the poor management, and It is really unfortunate that this location is going downhill. This used to be a great place to shop, sell, and have fun being at, but now everyone is miserable and management seems too focused on themselves to care.

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
