Pros

It is well organized and the DM and RM are consistently involved in all aspects of the business. For manager their is a division of responsibility!It keeps the job fresh and new with much room for constant growth and learning.

Cons

No everyone in corporate loves you right away and it shows. but it's retail. You work for the love. There are 4 managers typically and communication can sometimes become difficult, but better than most work atmospheres. Pay is not very good for those who are inner promoted so make sure you negotiate if that is the route you are looking for. It really does depends on how much the store makes.

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.
