Pros

Experience working with current and new trends. Its good for a first job if you get on your managers good side.

Cons

They show a lot of favoritism. One day you are the person they call when others don't show and the next they are bad mouthing you to the other employees. if you get in with management you just might get a free promotion for doing nothing.

Express - Associate

Pros

Stay up-to-date on the latest fashions. Meet and interact with new people every day. Get great discounts, especially when there are sales.

Cons

I didn't like having to sell credit cards. If we didn't sell one a week, even if you only had one shift, you had to come to work on a Sunday and clean the store/bathroom.

Pros

Good benefits, good for your resume if you can withstand the chaos for a few years, can get a good salary if you are smart about negotiating your offer

Cons

Remove head counts when people resign and expect other people to absorb the workload. Takes months-year to fill even assistant level positions in production. Team members in both NY office and Columbus creating a headache of travel, disconnect, unequal workload balance and no support from your manager when you need them. Difficult to be promoted. Need to perform at the next level 2 years before promotion, and low raise when you are promoted. Everyone including designers have to cater to merchant's every request. Old building.
