Pros

Get to work with great people Competitive benefits. You get to interact with cute kids and play with cute clothes

Cons

Low pay Unrealistic expectations with tasks vs payroll Lack of communication between corporate and store level. (it seemed like everyone was delivering a different message) Zero tolerance for any kind of mistake. If associates don't perform, management is written up. Not enough investment in training (28 hours for Assistant Manager) High stress environment.
