Pros

company culture can be great provided you have the leadership that is interested in people and their personal development. For management there are great benefits and bonus potential that is easy to obtain provided you just do your operational duties. Lots of freedom to run the store the way you like provided you meet numbers.

Cons

Tuxedos. This side of the business is cheating employees especially management in obtaining some commission and due to the flux of this business the retail side where your commission is made is neglected. You can only do so much with a team and prom hits forget it. This also affects the tailor shop even if measurements are done correctly there is bound to be mistakes at DC. Lastly, the commissions have diminished and aren't what they used to be. Alongside with running BOGO on everything and doing great price manipulation and not offering enough inventory (even when attempting to properly merchandise your store) your sales will be effected negatively as you have not resources to meet the expectations of the customer. Turning into a typical retail box store and lossing its structure that George founded it upon. Also was very tasteless how they removed George from the Company.

Pros

When I was here the discount was still mostly okay (went from 60% and 70% during the holidays to 55-65%), and you had the option to essentially put items on layaway out of your check, so you didn't have to have the total up front to be able to build a professional wardrobe if you were a male employee. The environment was chill and laid back in stores not operating on a cutthroat commission pay structure, at least back then. Most employees not in major cities were college-aged kids or just graduated, looking for part time work who could get along well. The duties were easy 95% of the time. Good training opportunities for management.

Cons

I started here when George was just getting pushed out. Several of the key draws/benefits were either shrunk or taken away after George left. The discount was reduced, the employee holiday parties went away (at least for some stores) and the employee clubhouse was taken away.
