Pros

Employee discount, employee discount, 401k match, days off for volunteer work. Not much else positive to say about this place!

Cons

CEO has made multiple bad decisions that have lost money for PE owners forcing layoffs and belt tightening at an already very cheap cheap company. Benefits outside of 401k match are bad and get worse every year and are far from competitive. Vacation policy just got worse, employee discount slowly being reduced. This is just a dismal place to work. The debt burden is too high, business is terrible and NM is behind the curve, gaining no market share, and run by the same people for the past 20 some years who have no vision to change course!

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
