Pros

Amazing employee discount, enjoyable store atmosphere, the best client base.

Cons

Too much micromanaging from the corporate level. Too many directives and not enough freedom for managers to do what they feel is right for their store. Little incentives: taking away commissioned sales.

Pros

Amazing discounts. Regular priced items all 30% off, sale stuff is 50%, and every week there's a list of stuff that's 60% off. The employees there are good people too.

Cons

On-call shifts. You can't plan to do something on a scheduled on-call shift day because you might work and you'll only know 2 hours ahead of time (of your shift). The hours are sooo inconsistent. Part time I was hoping for ~20 hours, instead some weeks I'd only work 6 hours others only 12. They don't care about part-time employees. Horrible commission too. Only .05%!
