Pros

-Ok pay for beginner -50% off employee discount -Company offered weekly promotions to employees to earn money towards clothing purchases

Cons

-Absolutely no say in scheduling. It is done almost 2 months in advanced and your shifts are up to your manager. Goodbye weekends and holidays. If you have to request off everyone will give you grief for having to "cover for you". I am a college student living many hours away from home and they expected me to work on Christmas Eve without even asking me first. They do not care about your family or social life. -Very expensive products that are hard to sell to the every day person -Rude, demanding customers -Not enough employees at the store I worked at -I had one emergency situation and I couldn't work one weekend because I had to go tend to my family and there was no empathy from my coworkers. Instead it was a matter of "well I'm working 6 hours for you this weekend while you're gone, which day of mine are you going to take next week?" When I was constantly coming in when my coworkers got sick, needed to leave early, and agreeing when they wanted to switch shifts for their benefit. -It wasn't just my store. When calling other stores I was mistreated by employees over the phone. -Not a good place to work for a younger person (college student). Everyone is 40+, I was made fun of a lot for my "young age".

Pros

Each store acts like it's own entity but has the luxury of having a big company behind it. All sales associates are chosen because they can fit within J McLaughlin's "culture of kindness".

Cons

Hourly pay is low.
