Pros

Fun work environment - it is what you make it as an SM Good customers at this location I got great training Clothing discounts

Cons

Company continues to cut hours and this is a high theft location. Little support unless you are a favorite of upper management Pay is not too competitive so difficult to attract good talent Employee retention in WA/OR has been really bad Work life balance - it’s retail so no surprise here

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.
