Pros

Employee discounts and sample sales are pretty good. They even bring a DJ to make the shopping experience exciting.

Cons

Senior management is terrible. There's pretty much no creative freedom. Everything is templated, and the old creatives do not like the changes. Bullying and favoritism exist within teams. One time, I had to wait until 9 pm to grab dinner after finishing work. Then, when I took a cab, they asked me if I had consumed the dinner in the office, due to the time stamp on my cab receipt being only 5 minutes apart. They told me I couldn't get a free meal unless I ate in the office, even though I work late. It's clear they do not care about the employees.

Pros

At one point it was the discounts til they changed the policies up during my fifth (and final year at the store). Aside from that, working with my fellow colleagues were the ones responsible for keeping the work environment together and made the experience much more fun and bearable.

Cons

As a part-timer, there's no benefits or any additional incentives. They'll "reduce your hours" if you're not meeting sales "expectations" by zoning you in different parts of the store that doesn't have a lot of foot traffic (i.e. cashier or front of house). Depending on who you work with on the management side of things... this job can make or break you. Last group of managers I had were NOT the most ideal examples when you give them "actionable feedback" and not follow through with their expectations.
