Pros
Beautiful stores, good product, good values, tend to hire nice people who are fun to work with. With their incentive ideas and benefits package, they could be a wonderful place to work, but none of that adds up when the execution is poor and misplaced.
Cons
Middle management is plagued by favoritism. The complaints about them fall on deaf ears, lower level associates feel like they can't talk about recurring issues and eventually quit because they feel helpless. The pay is typical, but should be better if they're willing to hire people with a lot of good experience. Promises were made to me during my interview that never came to fruition. I was kept in my role because i was "good at it" and it "is fun" (their words, not mine) even though i was told i wouldn't be kept there for long and after months of checking in for new roles, i was passed up by others who were less experienced, not as hard working, and very young. Im not yet 30 myself, but it's clear that middle management doesn't care to communicate properly (or sometimes at all) and would rather take advantage of the willingness of highschoolers and first year college students than let a good worker make progress. Also, almost a year there with an excellent review and i never won a single accolade, while others around me got rewards for being friendly, seeing as how they regularly missed tasks every shift.
