Pros

The discount given to part time employees is 30% off, full time employees 40% off. There are occasional additional 15% off weekends. There is an exception to what discount is given such as on redline items and when items are on a 40% or above promotion. Very understandable with personal conflicts and will give time off if needed, so perfect scheduling for a college student. Very flexible with scheduling but must give two weeks notice. Always on top of fashion seeing that there's always updates and clothes coming in every month. The only dress code they have is when you wear denim jeans it must be from express and no plain flip flops, nor the plain chucks nor vans for women. So very affordable wardrobe/work uniform.

Cons

There is a rare opportunity of company growth apparently very few selected stores are allow to give promotions to associates. The schedule is only given a week before. If you are part time employee there is much of a gamble for hours & may vary from time to time. Will choose favorites and may treat people differently because of it. The express card is much of a pressure, and may vary your hours.

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.
