Pros

time and a half on holidays hour long break decent pay checks every 2 weeks coworkers are great

Cons

• they focus on the wrong things. a manager literally pulled me from a customer i was helping to show me a TAG on the floor that she could’ve picked up herself! • they expect you to do 5 million different things at once then give you “feedback” saying you don’t move with a “sense of urgency” • they never want to let you go home. when you finish your section they’ll try to make you stay and are completely inconsiderate of the fact that you could be getting a ride or taking the bus. thank god i drive but for everyone else who didn’t? they kept them there till midnight or even 1 AM! • they love to rush you to finish your section so you can leave by 11 but instead of putting you there when you get back from break. they’ll put you somewhere else, expect you to close there THEN close your section • very odd dress code. you can’t wear their UTs in the store and you can’t wear short sleeves. even in the summer. • managers and ASM’s will tell you that you can’t do certain things yet you will find them doing EXACTLY what they told you not to do • incompetent management. none of them ever really seem to know what’s going on or know anything really. one supervisor will tell you to do something then another one will come along and tell you to do something else, then when you explain that you’re doing another task they look at you with a dumbfounded look on their face. none of them communicate between each other of who is doing what so nobody knows what’s going on half the time. if you ask one manager something they’ll tell you to ask another manager and that manager will tell you they don’t know and you have to go to someone else. rinse, wash, repeat. • brutal hours. they’ll have you working closing shifts back to back to back! • unrealistic expectations of sales associates!

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.
