Pros

You get a really great discount, really cool clothes. Can be an amazing place to work if you've got great leadership. Fun music.

Cons

No payroll, don't tell me to wear heels for 9+ hours and run around the store at superhuman speed and get to every customer in uncomfortable shoes. Stop focusing so much on the credit card, it just annoys the customer. Support stores with product and payroll and don't tell them that they are doing a horrible job when you are not supporting them at the corporate level.

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.
