Pros

Very good discount, occasional 40% off, employees are good to work with, meet new people, very compatible to school schedule (because they are desperate to keep you...high turnover)

Cons

no advancement, the place is a mess and no recognition from managers (better pay??) the pay rate is horrible, store managers hardly do anything while everyone is doing everything, closing is scheduled at 11 but sometimes 12-1, corporate ideas never work, high turnover, but good job for part-time students, managers differ on their orders because corporate objectives are unrealistic...1 manager may make you size while the other just makes you put the clothes over the rack and from the round

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
