Pros

Always working with chill people including managers. Managers always wanted employees to promote and succeed, Everyone is super helpful and it really did feel like a small family. Pay is decent for retail work. Easy to get time off.

Cons

Hours weren't too great due to low store traffic. Extremely slow days led to tedious work. Because it was a mall location the mall hours differed and caused some slight problems, Bad customers but not too many. Unexpected layoffs.

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.
