Pros

Being a college student, I can't say I would rather work anywhere else. Retail can be labeled "boring", but it's only a part-time job, and the pay is above average. The people I work with are great, with a good mix of college graduates, current college students, and some mid 40's women working at my current location. Willing to work with schedules; very flexible. Shifts range from 4 to 6 hours for associates usually.

Cons

No real cons, considering its a well paying part-time job.

Pros

Pay scales with tenure and sales (partially commission based). A good seller will make more and will progress through the company faster.

Cons

Management was unhelpful, occasionally downright rude. No official training period. Job was tedious, as guests were extremely rude on occasion and often left massive messes to be cleaned by one person.

Pros

twenty eight days of PTO, plus 6 paid holidays

Cons

despicable pay, pathetic raises, reduced hours, no ability to be promoted without a college degree, associates are blamed for management's mistakes on a regular basis, no focus on safety, the philosophy is always quantity over quality, no training department, constantly over-hiring while simultaneously reducing hours, laying off seasonal workers every year by the thousands, even though we need some of the help afterward
