Pros
Pay, benefits & trip to Chicago for training
Cons
Everything - Worst job I have ever had. If you want to be micro managed and treated like a child this job will be for you. Can't even go to the bathroom without telling upper management what you are doing. Managers watch your every move and even schedule when your break is. Sometimes I would go in at 10 am & my lunch would be scheduled at 11 am and then have to work 12-7 without even a 5 minute break. This job literally felt like I was in a jail cell everyday. They judge you on your appearance and upper management is like the movie Mean Girls. They talk behind your back and judge you on your appearance. My uniform pieces didn't even fully come in until I was there for at least 2 months and then they criticize you for not looking like everyone else. The amount of stuff you will deal with on a daily basis is not worth the pay. Completely not a team like environment. No one helps each other and it didn't feel like anyone wanted to see anyone else succeed. This place was filled with stuck up snobs who online shop on the clock but get pissed at you for walking into the back for a glass of water. I once had to make a phone call to my doctor and wanted to do so outside of the store and it was like I committed a crime. Forget any type of work-life balance. I tried to use PAID TIME OFF for a bachelorette party and gave notice 3 months in advance and it wasn't approved because it was on a weekend and "we are not allowed to take a weekend off". The store manager once put up a sign saying we are not allowed to take any PTO days unless we are making our goals which I am pretty sure is illegal. Upper management are hypocrites and treat employees horrible. I could not wait to get out of there.
