Pros

50% discount on certain number of items per month, 30% off on everything else. I worked with a lot of college students so it was always a fun, friendly atmosphere. Managers were very friendly and helpful. Hourly wage was very low though, I worked here almost 3 years with no raise.

Cons

Lack of training, schedule was either too much or not enough. Some weeks I would be scheduled one 4 hour shift, other weeks i would have 3 6 hour shifts. Rollout occurred at night, so I was sometimes there until midnight. As a college student, this was sometimes hard to manage.

Pros

- Amazing employee discounts on both sale and full-price merchandise - Friendly co-workers and organized management - Grateful customers

Cons

Management posts the shift schedule for a week only one week in advance. This makes it difficult to schedule plans because you are never sure when you are working. This may have been a challenge only as a summer associate, because I was not put on a regular schedule, and the days I was supposed to work changed week by week.

Pros

-Strong fashion forward products -generous discount -promotion within the company to corporate levels

Cons

-Biased management: Many fellow co-workers promoted to corporate office (770) but only if they were well liked or threw a fit about it. -Management can be very condescending, micromanaging, and not follow through on many promises to help you work in department you are interested in. Also very clear when managers don't care or don't like you.
