Pros

Flexible work schedule. They offer a 401(k) profit sharing program after a minimum waiting time period. Fair pay compared to other competitive stores. The company culture was friendly and respectful.

Cons

As far as I know, they no longer offer sales commissions in the Young Men's Departments. Career paths weren't well defined to Sales Associates. There were some internal promotions but not as many as you might expect. Most promotions appeared to be store transfers or external candidates.

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.
