Pros

Very flexible shifts, short hours, store discount.

Cons

The training for this job was nonexistent. I was shown one transaction at checkout and then was expected to know how to work the register entirely. I had no idea what I was doing and would get scoffed at when calling managers for help constantly. Also heard a manager talking behind my back complaining about how I didn't know how to do anything which is ironic since it is their fault that I was unprepared. There were high expectations for having no training. I felt very unprepared when going to work and was treated like I had been there for years and should just know how to do everything even though this was my first job in retail. Only stayed for a year, was barely called into work so the stress was not worth the minimum wage salary.

Pros

Very helpful and knowledgeable team. You meet a lot of new people and make new friends.

Cons

• Terrible work life balance!!!! • Low pay. • No opportunity to gain more hrs as a regular sales associate, hence, no money. • Having to dress up as a group, therefore; having to spend your small paycheck on an outfit for a work day. • Scaring away potential clients by saying hi, promoting Express insider and the Express credit card. • Managers being nasty and sarcastic for not opening any Express credit cards. • Managers getting mad at you because clients are just browsing. • Having no work to do for the 1st 3/4 hrs of your shift and then being bombarded with work the last minute. • Managers not respecting your time if you don’t have another job, school or a family > knowing that you won’t actually leave your shift on time because what other place would you rather be than express??
