      Not a good place to work.

      Pros

      The employee discount is good... 20% and a few other times a year you get an additional 20% off. The location was close to my house and full time job. The interview process was simple.

      Cons

      The schedule is unpredictable and not fair. You never know when you will be off on the weekend. I was hired for nights and weekends and ended up working only 1 or 2 nights per week and Saturday & Sunday. They say that you are suppose to work 5 out of 8 weekend days per month. It is more like 7 out of 8.

      Pros

      West coast attitude! Dress code was casual, summer Fridays, and great city!

      Cons

      Old school! Buyers used assistants as little minions to go shopping with them. Then would expect you to stay late to finish work. We were constantly working overtime and some of us were reprimanded by HR for not clocking in and out correctly. When I mentioned my need for overtime to my Buyer, it was implied that I was too slow and not using my time efficiently. Hardly the case. Ethics was the buzz word that was talked about, the small people followed, but the people that were making the decisions and the money would ignore. Buyers routinely accepted gifts in front of assistants. Favoritism was obvious. Promotions were not about what you knew or how hard you worked, but about who you knew. Old school!

      Pros

      In general, people were nice and very helpful. (However, there were those who never left high school and brought that lack of maturity level into work.) Work in buying offices was interesting at times Summer hours and denim wear everyday were pros

      Cons

      Political atmosphere - many undeserving people were promoted quickly for all the wrong reasons. Expect a lot of unnecessary duplicated work. Outdated technology
