Pros

You become very close with your coworkers and actually have fun with them while working. Very good first job, gain lots of customer service experience. management actually cares about their employees.

Cons

not a great discount, only 20%, sometimes 40%. they stress sales a lot and expect to make a lot of money even when the store is dead. Not very much opportunity to get promoted unless your one of the top sellers in your store.

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.
