Pros

Out of all my jobs, this has been the place where I have been the most excited to go work at in the morning. Great environment, and great people. The vibe between all employees is warm, welcoming and fun. Very flexible at times, and a great discount (50% off).

Cons

Sometimes the demand they put on sales associate are too much regarding how much they need to sell during a certain shift. It is a flexible company, but this can become chaotic and unorganized week to week with in regards to schedules. Also, shifts are 5 hours long most of the time, and you aren't given much shifts during the week.

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.
