A good "for now" job

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

- Great associate discounts (30% off, new quarter weekends give us 45% off) - Good upbeat music - Friendly co-workers and generally friendly managers - Fashionable store, love the style - Love the creativity I can put into my work outfits - 5 hour shifts... better than other retail places with 3 or 4 hr shifts

Cons

- Pressure to meet goals to "go green" and extreme pressure for the Express Credit Card - No recognition for doing a good job, but a lot of criticism for things you do wrong - BAD HOURS. Despite the 5 hour shifts, you'll probably only work one or two days out of the week. Many associates have second jobs because of this. - Many on-call hours, which they don't even use 99% of the time. - Managers play favorites. - Bad pay and bad hours for such expensive clothes. - No discount on red tag items.

Know you Region

Pros

Good pay, easy to incresase sales and service, huge bonus possible

Cons

Don't go here if you are a people person. Get to know your Regional team, not just your DM, find out what kind of people they are. You may end up hearing "it all about the business, People don't matter"

Pros

There is a discount, good people to work with, and often very nice clothes to work with and buy. I wouldn't recommend working there full time though.

Cons

Not very good pay, hours can be very random, and often not enough people working to cover the entire store, so you have to spread yourself thin.
