Pros

I work with some great people and the employee discount is pretty nice if you are a dude.

Cons

One of the worst corporate managements I've ever seen. After being here for almost 2 years it is obvious that upper management does not care about the employees, and they defiantly do not care about the customers. The hours are long, the pay is laughable, and the whole upper management team is so out of touch with how working in a retail store is like that no one listens to any of their bad ideas. All Corporate/district cares about is your bottom line, if your store is doing well, you can basically get away with murder. And I know this because I work at a store that constantly hits its goals, and I've seen employees here do things that they would be fired on the spot for at other jobs. Career growth here is almost nonexistent, unless you like to brown nose upper management. I'm currently fighting for a pay raise and I had to threaten to leave my job to even be taken seriously. Say goodbye to your weekends, and be ready to work long hours. It's retail so be aware you will be working on the weekends, but if you are store management, you are working every weekend. Shifts are long for full timers; usually anywhere from 9-10 hours, and occasionally you'll work an open to close shift.

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.
