Pros

It is fun and upbeat.

Cons

Drama, all the managers talked crap about the employees because they seem to be stuck in a highschool mentality. Most of the employees talked crap about everyone else well cause they are in highschool. Tillys looks like a fun place to work but it is filled with drama. That’s what makes it such a horrible place to work, I ended up not showing up to my last day because I just couldn’t take one more day. And then I got a notice in the mail that said I had been fired because I was better out of retail, even though I made sales goals, got people to sign up for rewards and did all the shipment stuff. I felt extremely under appreciated

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.
