Pros

Good Employee discount Access to quality men's wear HIgher ups easy to access Good benefits Relaxed atmosphere Weekly paycheck Good bosses (generally) Great summer picnics Great Christmas parties Willing to work with employees to find the right match on which store is best for them In the past have been willing to listen and implement ideas and suggestions from employees

Cons

Employee discount getting worse--when I started it was 40% then went to 55% or 60%, now back to 40%. Sense of trust is diminishing coming down from the CEO Company is struggling financially and will be closing 250 stores in 2017 Retail hours Has a tendency to advance or rehire problem employees, even those who have been caught stealing from the company Only Closed four days a year-`-Easter, July 4, Thanksgiving and Christmas Low base salary If an employee has talents different from the sales floor, they are still required to excel in selling before they can move to other areas within 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.
