Pros
Co-workers were great people. There are a lot of associates at every store so you're sure to find friends in them. They are the only reason I stuck with the company for so long.
Cons
They expect their associates to act like soldiers in an army. The level of discipline they expect was demeaning and unnecessary. The manager was a USC grad but had absolutely no people skills (or social skills) so she made the atmosphere miserable. They played favorites and promoted people based on how much they fit the 'image' and how well managers liked them, rather than how hard they worked or their knowledge about the operations. At one point I was training people that were making more than me. They also pressure you and sort of blame you when the store doesn't hit the sales target.
