Pros

There were good discounts on their clothes. The people are friendly, and it helps your fashion sense. Every time you come to work, you dress to impress. Every sales associate are suppose to be a model. Since there was no commission, everyone was quite friendly. There wasn't any disputes about sales.

Cons

The sales job did not align incentives well because there was no commission. Also there wasn't much to do as an sales associate. Other than bothering customers, folding clothes, and running the dressing rooms, the job is pretty boring. There isn't much the company can do about the situation.

Pros

Regular hours and a fixed schedule

Cons

Their stated diversity policy is a lot of hot air. If you're non-white, or any other protected characteristic describes you, you risk being fired for it here.
