Pros

cute clothes at a good discount, most employees are awesomely nice! they will actually give you hours, unlike a lot of retail.

Cons

Standards and rules are ridiculously strict. They do not want you to be human. They want you to work 9 hour shifts and then frown at you if you don't want to stay later. If you have to leave the floor to use the restroom, it is a huge deal. Upper Management is absolutely awful and don't care about anyone but themselves. Same goes for the terrible Japanese ex-pats who just want to make the rest of us miserable.

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.
