Pros

30-50% off discount. Good benefits, even for part time associates. Co-workers.

Cons

Too much work for too little pay. As a manager being expected to run a high volume mall on very little payroll and still meet all KPI's it's impossible. Clear favoritism from DM to certain managers. Being punished for bad CSAT scores by requiring managers to work a 6th day (Less payroll to use!) is nonsense. One person can't do the work of 3 people all the time and not have a nervous breakdown. Part time associates are expected to do everything a manager does for 1/6 the pay.
