Pros

It is easy to get a job here. They hire lots of people during holiday times and summer. Good place to start in retail.

Cons

Despite the clothes being kinda pricey, many employees start at bare minimum wage. There is no commission. Associates will not be given many hours unless it is holiday season. If business is slow for an hour, management will cut shifts, which leads to understaffing later in the day or week. Unrealistic sales goals. No compensation for hard work other than a pat on the back if management likes you.

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.
