Pros

The people that we meet every day.

Cons

Everything we get in shipment comes in plastic bags. Never get a run of items, always the same sizes sent. Not all customers are a 0 or 2 and they get upset when we don't have item. Wish our registers could keep up with what it sold and send item to replace, not stuff we have enough of.

Pros

you meet new people every day. you learn about style and therefore get a good sense for fashion. You learn how to dress and be versatile with your wardrobe. The people you work with, at least in my store, are always in a good mood and willing to help out. Its also good to receive compliments when customers like the outfit that you are wearing. It makes you feel good, and it makes them think about possibly getting that item for themselves as well.

Cons

When it gets busy, it GETS BUSY. but that's just part of the business. Sometimes customers might think they are royalty, but you learn to deal with that type. Overall, the only con I can think of is closing time when people in the store come in, make a mess, and don't buy anything. They make you clean up their mess. Then again, that's what you're getting paid to do.

Pros

You get a lot of breaks. The management team and everyone else there is easy to work with despite the few exceptions. The discounts are great.

Cons

The schedule is never consistent and could be at any time of the day. Holidays and weekends are for the most part mandatory.
