Pros

As with all companies, if there is good management, the company can expect to grow. The company is growing tremendously, with more than 1000 stores in the US and Canada. The company gives awesome Holiday Parties, along with wonderful prizes at the employee meetings.

Cons

Unfortunately, the growth does not work well for all employees. One would think that with growth comes internal opportunities for one to grow, move into different departments, and so forth. This is not always the case. Some employees have completed their degrees while working for the company, and cannot transfer into a more prestigious department making higher pay. It's almost as if some of the departments are literally prevent others (who are hard working and shows from their work ethic) from moving forward in the company. Also not all of the departments work together. There is a department who has the responsibility of enforcing the rules in the SOP, while another department constantly breaks the rules, and their managers just support them. This is causing rifts in the ranks.

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.
