      Many ups and downs depending on management and staff turnover was high.

      Pros

      In the right stores with excellent management it can be a fun place to work, the pay is on par with similiar retailers.

      Cons

      One employee is expected to do the work of 3-4 people. Even upper management would say so. I have seen employees passed up for promotions because they were able to keep up with the work demanded of them and management knew it was rare to find such a person, so they didn't want to promote them or pay them more. Training for certain jobs within the store can be poor.

      Not the best, not the worst.

      Pros

      - Employee discount - Flexible scheduling IF you have a good store manager - Cross training -- you don't always have to work in the same department - Opportunity to work with a lot of different people

      Cons

      - The work experience is entirely based on whether or not you have a good management team. - Training for new associates is not very good; a few hours of computer based training followed by a few hours of "buddy training" with another associate and then you are left to work by yourself and expected to achieve the same standards as any other associate. - Limited room for advancement within the company.. again, depends on the store management. A good store manager will promote qualified individuals from within the store. Bad management will ignore the talent that they already have and recruit outsiders. - Room for advancement at the area supervisor level is VERY limited. Open Assistant Manager positions are filled with whoever is the DM's favorite, or by outside applicants. - Turn over is very high
