Pros
Nice coworkers, positive environment, discounts.
Cons
Part of the position of being a clothing buyer at buffalo exchange is "shopping" weekly. This is something I was fine with when I took the job initially, thinking that I would be keeping up with trends, and shopping as regular-- maybe browsing sections i wouldnt usually browse when doing it. However, the management kept pestering me about "shopping" and it became clear that they expected employees to go to the mall weekly and spend "between one and two hours" perusing and asking questions about clothes. When i asked if i will get paid for my time management said "we used to do that, but we don't anymore". They mentioned they can't require me to do it, but they strongly encourage it. As a full time student at the time, it was near impossible to set aside that much time every week to peruse the mall for free. Eventually i was let go from the position because they "didnt think i was enthusaiastic enough about fashion". Code for not complying with their free labor expectation.
