Pros

Somewhat flexible schedule, benefits such as medical and dental insurance and well as adoption assistance offered, employee discount, STAR cards earned when management wants to acknowledge your work efforts

Cons

AWFUL management team that treats their employees as if they're disposable, not enough people on schedule to accomplish work that needs to get done, no real room for advancement, almost no rewards or acknowledgement given for going above and beyond and almost no consequense for being a slacker, when closing store I had to pick up the slack for those that slacked off before we could all leave.

Pros

I believe in the store....what they have to offer the customer, the deals, the savings, the products. People are so happy, excited, and thrilled to have us hear in Austin. It's exciting to be part of that.

Cons

Since the store opened in Oct. we have had a complete management turn over. All three of our original managers/asst. managers have left. The manager leaving even before they had someone to replace him. You are expected to do quiet a few different jobs depending on how many people are scheduled...which seems to be never enough. Always cutting back on hours and then never having enough people to work. And after my last review I was hopeful to get decent raise, I got a good review but was shocked at a lousey .19 cent raise. They do not value there employees on any level.

Pros

The product is ever changing and it creates a great flow of ideas on how to manage all the inventory and display everything to make the customer need to have the products in groups instead of just the one item

Cons

the management, district and store, had a very difficult time communicating expectations to everyone. those people that were on the same page today were gold but ten minutes later they needed to be fired for sneezing at the wrong time. its a mild exaggeration but truely only a mild one. If the store and district manager gave the staff the support they needed to do a good job it could have been accomplished. I believe that both were way out their element, one was a former mall clothing store manager who could not make it in a single store without hr having to come and investigate the situation then transfer her to another store. the other was a former book store manager, with not a lot of sense of style for a store that prides itself on style.
