Pros

Great atmosphere Friendly co-workers Music to listen to A relatively fun job to work at.

Cons

With the wrong store manager, advancement can be literally impossible from inside. The only way to become an assistant manager was to be hired from outside of the company with prior retail experience. Also the hours aren't the best.

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.
