Pros

The locations are convenient to Manhattanites, the other store associates were pretty nice, the music was okay. Not much else.

Cons

I've worked in retail for the past eight years and I've never seen a company treat it's employees with such little regard. The management was completely disrespectful to the staff, people were made to feel like they were worthless. Schedules were changed with as little as three hours notice. And I saw a person put in a time off request two months in advance only to have it denied the day before she was supposed to leave on vacation. Very unprofessional. And employees who were technically part time were made to work 40 hours a week or more and are not given benefits. That is disgraceful.

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
