Pros

Open talk policy- simple to get in touch with upper management and they always respond. In fact, they're always personable. Over time, I built many professional relationships with my regionals, vice president, district manager and co-managers within my district. I loved my district manager and regional as well as my merchant manager. Great pay and PTO- (Paid Time Off) Full time exempt employees start with 20 days and with seniority bumps up to 25. Great benefits and discounts on awesome clothing. This is definitely a career oriented company (for most people). Flexible schedule most of the time, each store has sufficient managers so you can easily take time off, change your work schedule. You are mandated to work only 40/hours a week. Simple policies/procedures and good corporate structure- Simple yet challenging work environment- perfect for people and self development. Anything you do know or need to know, they give you all resources to find it out. This is a strong company and many opportunities are available. I love this company! It isn't for everyone but if you can find your place, it's a mutual love!

Cons

The company is growing and expanding so things are a little chaotic at times and the workload can be a little overwhelming. You just have to take some weeks day by day (sometimes hour by hour) and prioritize!

Pros

Great employee discounts and a very easy going environment. The management is also phenomenal.

Cons

The fast paced retail environment can be a little stressful if you're not into sales. The pay is also awful, but thats what happens when you work for retail. Not many opportunities to move up.

Pros

Great pay! Pretty flexible with the hours, Very adorable clothes :) Breaks are reasonable.

Cons

Dress code is ridiculously expensive to follow! You dont have to wear their clothes but to keep up with thier dress code that changes every three months is really hard. You get No Benifits they keep all employees at part time!! They dropped me from 40+ hours a week to 10hours a week without any notice. My Management was horrible None of my managers were on the same page They had me doing 6 different things in 6 complete different areas!!!
