Pros

The clothes are really pretty, some people are fun to work with, fashionable place overall!

Cons

Management plays favorites Pushed to reach difficult goals with no more than minimum wage Clothes rip easily Associates aren't allowed to stop a customer from stealing so people take what they want and we can't do anything about it Management always has bad things to say when you make a mistake, but never anything nice to say when you do something good

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.
