Pros
Helping people find products they genuinely love, the customer-associate relationships, receiving "gratis," working with great people, medium sized retail operation, you don't feel lost in the crowd but you're definitely one of many...decent pay
Cons
unfair treatment (I was promoted, given a raise, and still made the same as just a regular sales associate, yipee!!), corporate management is run by people from hell I am convinced. They are some of the most awful people I have ever experienced. Not to mention they can't hire a competent manager to save their butts. It's all about "titles," and restricting power, and making people low on the totem pole. not a team oriented environment, people are too worried about how much they're making and what their "title" is to do any productive work, egos, diva personalities, stupid people who have no business working in retail, let alone management, really high turnover rate, but what do you expect when you treat your employees like dog crap?
