If you depend on your job for income to pay bills, the hours you may need aren't always available. They schedule a lot of on-call shifts - the penalty for not calling is the same as not showing up for work, but you get no reward for being prepared to work that shift. If you do want more hours/have a more open availability, the hours you get can also be all over the place - you may close late at night and then be back to open bright and early. This can be especially rough during extended holiday hours. You also will be expected to have some sort of weekend availability - but that's standard in retail.
The pay is moderately fair - probably better than many retailers, but nothing to get too excited about.
The company also has a lot of standards for folding, hanging clothes, etc. While I admit a certain fondness for a perfectly folded stack of sweaters, the 2-3 hour closings that are necessary to create those picture-perfect piles can be a bit tedious.
My biggest disappointment with the company was the lack of education about policies and products - I had a short orientation with the handbook and a cheesy video, and from there figured out a lot by myself (no shadowing, etc.). I'm sure that a lot of this has to do with the high turnover rate in part-time retail.
