Pros

You meet many great, friendly people who are great to work with and be around. Rapid expansion guarantees job openings and advancement, if you are willing to move that is. Clothing discount!

Cons

- No work-life balance. Scheduling is released the Friday before the following week, so its very difficult to plan your life around work scheduling. - Staff development was poor. A lot of my training was neglected or constantly pushed to the side in favor of getting immediate tasks done. -Disorganized- For an international brand its surprising how little the company invests in its infrastructure in terms of technology, resulting in management wasting time on many simple tasks that could be done in smarter and more efficient ways. - Blame-game- There's a lot of finger pointing for mistakes, but ultimately only results in shaming the one who made the mistake, rather than looking at root causes and why certain things occur.

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.
