Unfair treatment of employees

Pros

This is a great entry level retail position and offers a decent employee discount (30%). Most of the managers are very nice and supportive of the employees, and everyone does a great job working together.

Cons

Schedule is done 3 weeks in advance and off days have to be submitted before the schedule is done, yet my manager canceled my shift the day before or the day of said shift a few times. Sometimes employees are put "on call" and are required to call in 2 hours before their shift to see if help is needed, however no compensation is given for this time set aside. All scheduled shifts that cannot be completed require a replacement, even when extraneous circumstances crop up (such as swine flu contraction or snow obstacles)

Pros

The same things that draw in customers: product design, style layout, standards, upbeat music, lighting. A few of the other employees "got it" in terms of colleague professionalism.

Cons

Too few/no real growth opportunities. Unprofessional attitudes - many employees were too casual when speaking to me and customers. No solid empowerment - from register training, to tasking, to simply grabbing a pair of jeans from the back. I was always questioning my level of importance. There was a huge gap between leadership and associate.

Pros

If your a cut throat person you can make it up the latter. Promotions are possible but not easy to get.

Cons

Hours are never enough and you get cut of at 39.8 hrs. You get called in where ever they feel like it. Meetings are boring and uninformative. Promotions go to brown nosers.
