Pros

Free coffee, amazing coworkers, and overall cool office environment

Cons

The company isn’t what it was. Poor leadership decisions and covid have really turned this company upside down. Unfortunately, this has caused many rounds of layoffs of really great employees. I wish I could say I had a better time working there, but the constant leadership turnover and lack of career growth opportunities was extremely upsetting. Don’t expect to move up or ever get a significant raise. Coordinators and managers are never promoted. Senior managers and directors are let go. It isn’t a great place to work.

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.
