Pros

Organized, lots of communication, good discount on nice clothes, managers are cool

Cons

TOO MUCH COMMUNICATION (you wear ear pieces that they're constantly asking you to update what you're doing even if you just did 5 minutes ago...annoying), constantly pressured to push promos, lots of brands to learn, lots of clutter all over the store, young supervisors

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.
