Pros

Your average work schedule Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, occasional Saturday and Sunday (Unless you are unable to work those hours)

Cons

You are NOT a Visual Merchandiser. You are also a Sales associate, and Merchandiser. This job title means you ONLY work on mannequins, assembling or dismantling visual displays in windows or in-store, carrying out 'comp (comparison) shops' to maintain awareness of other retailers' visual merchandising concepts. Not pricing, or standing behind a cash register, which they will make you do. Occasionally higher management will pull (Non-Visual Staff) to do your job. which means you will be in charge of cleaning up their mess.

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
