Pros

The associate discount was pretty nice at Express. It was nice being able to stock up on your wardrobe for not bad prices. Having access to the newest styles was cool too. Some customers were good to work with. Good retail experience.

Cons

-The management--definitely played favorites and promoted people they liked, and not necessarily based on performance or seniority. Hours were focused too much on credit cards. Too much gossip between management and employees. Managers would gossip about other employees and customers--very inappropriate and unprofessional.

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.
