Pros

$10/hr is really good. 30% Discount is also really good, especially since the store's clothing isn't very expensive to begin with. The supervisors and managers are really fun to be around (if they like you). Overall, it's a really solid first job.

Cons

-Honestly, they want you to care far too much. As a low rank sales associate you will sometimes find yourself doing things a supervisor is supposed to be doing, and they mask it up by calling it "training" and attempting to make you feel like you are doing something important. -Workplace politics/favoritism run rampant. There is a little circle of cool kids, consisting of mostly supervisors and Advanced Associates that do next to nothing. You have to kiss some serious behind to move up. -When hours are cut, they are cut HARD. -Can be a pain to balance with school.

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.
