Pros

Great, up-beat work environment that was really fast paced Really good discounts on clothing and accessories through employment Friendly managers and many of the other associates went to college in the area Easy commute to the mall

Cons

Pay was very low and "commission" wasn't enough to even be called that (.05%) Men's section usually only had one associate working so very fast paced Parking at the mall is hard, especially during rush hours Managers are sometimes hard to get along with, but overall they were friendly

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
