Pros

This company is always ever changing when it comes to strategies to maximize time efficiently and boosting productivity in every way possible. Very Organized and produces very good merchandisers , Prefers to hire from within, Promotes friendly and social "vibe". Keen on making sure they don't violate employee rights and is very aware of regulations that need to be followed.

Cons

- Managers aren't trained to act professionally - Some managers find loop holes to fire people (purposely looking for dates that employees can't work then claiming that they do "no call no show" and documenting it.) -Associates seem disposable to management team - They don't pay well with the amount of work given - If there is more than one assistant manager on the team, don't expect the pay to be even and fair. - Associates aren't really trained well to be productive.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
