Pros

Depending on manager, your work schedule is very flexible. 20 % Discount on their cloths (although they are super overpriced) Seasonal 40% Discount. Friendly atmosphere Perfect for high school students.

Cons

Call in policy is terrible Cant use discounts on meaningful items ( Levis,watches,etc) Managers are very unprofessional and favoritism is at a ridiculous level. ( i speak for the store i worked in located in Doral,Florida) No growth opportunities if you start as a sales associate. Pay raises are terrible ( 37 cents every 6 months if you are a perfect employee)

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.
