Pros

If you love operations, this is a fantastic place for that. You run numbers daily, constantly checking the computer for emails from corporate, awesome clothes, can be a fun environment, everyone is in constant communication, high demands but the company is succeeding for a reason.

Cons

High turnover rate, ridiculous demands from DM, very little time to do any task, associates had to be babysat/managers have to provide a task and make sure the task is being done, management was always overworked

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.
