Pros

Express is a great place to work during college and they give you a great discount on clothes for employees. It's a good job to have when you're looking to build a wardrobe for cheap while making money at the same time. If you are good at getting credit cards from customers you are praised and have a lot of leeway with management. Also, it is fun to keep up on fashion trends while at work and it forces you to buy the clothes that will keep you looking sharp for whatever events you may be attending in the future.

Cons

Some days are hard when you realize that you're not making much, and you get the crappy parts of the job. It is very detailed oriented... a lot of repetition. Folding clothes--refolding when customers mess up the piles. Also, it's hard not to spend your paycheck when working.

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.
