Pros

Pretty awesome discount with an even more awesome discount roughly once a quarter It's a job Fashion forward, if your into that

Cons

Poor compensation Unrealistic goals with no reasons behind them Poor planning by home office which makes having a personal life pretty impossible if you want to do your job well Upper management has no interest in what the reality of stores is really like Environment of do more with less (little payroll, broke sizes and styles. Kinda hard to make $$ when you don't have the merchandise to sell) Technology has improved but is still so far behind the rest of the world. My house is more advanced than this billion dollar company

Pros

Could manage the business as I saw fit as through the lens of a business owner

Cons

Training was minimal and in a location very different than my future store. Staff I inherited was horrible and leadership was not transparent about the status of the store in regards to profitability and issues within the store or company for that matter. Company declared bankruptcy about 5 months after I started and closed my location. Not a great experience.
