Pros

Great if you love the product with good employee discount, and being proactive and friendly towards customers. Also a good place to get experience with product knowledge and styling because such knowledge is encouraged at all levels of employment in the store.

Cons

Possible negative atmosphere if you have a position competing for individual sales. Possible pressure from some managers to regularly perform on the level of other positions without the same compensation or title.

Pros

The pay is great, as a sales associate you get an hourly plus commission. You also get an amazing discount and when I mean amazing I mean AMAZING. You get 60% off new items, 50% off sales and somewhere below for the rest. Most employees are very friendly and the clothing is beautiful.

Cons

They are not flexible with hours. As a student it is hard to have this job if you are doing anything else. They expect you to work 30 hrs a week and rarely let me off when I requested. I once asked for a vacation 4 months in advance and I did not get all 3 days off. That's an easy request and they were not helpful. Honestly there is a rank for who gets off and who doesn't, they should hire more employees in order to avoid this issue. Its sad because I loved the brand and the people but as a part time associate the scheduling just isn't reasonable with this company.
