Pros

Good discount Store staff generally nice to work with. Did I say good discount. That's about it. That really is it.

Cons

Everything else. As a store manager you work 55 to 60 hours a week. If it's a random Super Tuesday sale your now working 6 days a week and 65hrs plus. If you get a day off, you might be away from the store but the store will call you all day with customer issues. The Regional manager talks to you like your the dirt on his shoe. NO work life balance. Don't even think about seeing your family or going to a event. Because you should always be at the store. Conference calls are just a excuse for the regional manager to yell at his entire district for a hour Better be on mute. Because your no allowed to speak. Pay for sales people is a joke. Minimum wage at best. Pos systems - they got new systems. A shame they don't work and we had to go back to the old ones. Tux rentals - no one wants to do them. They take forever and don't pay but a few dollars. Tailor shop - tailors are great. But the sales people are not tailors. So tell me why with none to very little training are the salespeople having to mark the suits for tailoring That's why the suits always come back wrong. Moral of the story , unless this is the last job on earth Look some where else.

Pros

40% discount and the music is good benefits are okay

Cons

Too much mandatory paperwork to keep up with when dealing with customers during prom, wedding, and graduation season. While simultaneously keeping up with the cleanliness of the floor when customers treat it like it’s a primark.
