Pros

Benefits, discount, shared core values, PTO, bonus, business acumen development, inclusion

Cons

DM support not consistent, heavy tasks overshadowed customer engagement at times, minimal labor available (172 hours), high turnover, partially due to hours available and partially due to workload, favoritism in upper management, corporate/ DM expectations versus in-store reality not aligned many times, headcount Lord multiple times, labor hours, Lord many times wow in increasing tasks, visuals/ other task completed during business hours (in between customers) Taking away from customer experience.

Pros

Depending on District/Store great culture. Awesome discounts and bonus incentives for full time management. Relatively lenient on being able to use your discretion with difficult customers, "What Would Van Doren Do?" - basically make the customer happy reasonably. Great position to learn retail and people management in - applied itself to any career field later on.

Cons

Job Security (retail and working in malls in today's landscape can be tough depending on location). Corporate can be corporate sometimes, DMs or RMs pushing unreasonable and ridiculous selling behaviors sometimes.
