Pros

Employee discount...? Other than that, having a hard time thinking of anything LOL

Cons

Workload is unrealistic and ridiculous, especially for floor associates. Attending to dressing rooms, "recovering" departments, and all the other duties they push on you in very limited amount of time, and almost impossible for one person to accomplish. I lost 10 pounds working here because of the constant running around, usually in a panic with 1 million things to do. Not to mention they never have enough cashiers, and we were expected to run to the cash register every time needed. End up being stuck on registers for 3 hours, and your supervisor wonders why your department is a mess. Management extremely pushy, and act like they look down on you. Very impersonal staff, especially management. Supervisors are under pressure, and they return the pressure onto you. The pay is a joke for the amount of workload and the expectations. Minimum wage, without much of a raise in the future. The turnover rate is high for a reason: It's a very unpleasant job, and the pay doesn't match up with the work. I dreaded going into work everyday, and honestly, the job stressed me out. Not a pleasant experience, and never again is all I can say.

Pros

There's a complete training system.

Cons

Managers ask me work a lot of hours after I told them I have school. And school was my priority. They don't care about my situation and said if I complain then maybe I shouldn't work there.

Pros

You get to meet all kinds of people, some of the best, nicest interesting people to work with. You can work and still have fun. I tend to think it takes the stress off just saying "it's just a job."

Cons

Management usually doesn't communicate with each other. Tasks don't get done in time due to one manager negating another. a lot of big egos in this company. Also Hours get cut drastically (unless you're really needed, ex.:black friday, Holidays, markdowns, remodel, recovery, inventory). from 5 days to 3 days to the even minimum - 4hour work week!!! No help were needed. lots of workers overnight, hardly any for opening. Raises are not noticeable. but mainly hours get cut.
