Pros

Very laid back, dress code is almost anything goes that fits the store image, the store manager never raises his voice, if you aren't always on time within ten minutes or so you won't get in trouble, snacking on the job is allowed, and you can have your phone on you on silent.

Cons

Some shifts start at 6 am for visual updates, schedule is sometimes changed after posted without your permission, overturn rate is high, lack of organization, lack of store management involvement, when down a manager expect to work more than 7 days in a row, only one weekend off a month, general laziness is common, the store manager takes forever to find replacements after someone quits, and the discount is 20%.

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.
