Pros

I love working with clothes so it makes the job really fun. The pay is pretty good compared to other jobs I've had, and managers are always really nice. The store I worked in, and the one I work in now seem to stay fairly busy which makes your shift go by so much faster.

Cons

You feel under pressure all the time to get charge apps, or catalog referrels. If they wouldn't be paying the CEO's so much money, they wouldn't be running themselves so tight. One downfall to retail is that you're always cleaning up after messy shoppers, I don't particulary care for cleaning up other peoples messes.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
