Pros

Opportunities for growth are abundant. With the new structure, there are many positions available, especially if you are mobile.

Cons

With all of the changes, there are still some very grey areas. Many leaders have conflicting ideas of what the 'right' thing to do is, depending on the situation. Most times, the answer is whatever the senior person in the discussion says. Too many people have their hands in on every decision, which makes things take much longer than they should. This is all a part of the company trying to invlove all areas of the business in all decisions. Unfortunatly, sales suffer when we work so slowly.

Pros

The benefits were decent, clothes discount, enjoyed working in my "area" that I was specialized in, hours were fine (outside of Christmas season)

Cons

Way too much pressure to open credit cards, I was a great sales associate and had the highest sales in the brand I was specializing in in the district, yet was constantly scolded for not opening up enough credit. I had a poor department manager who treated me like a child. She never helped out in our dept, just came up and gave us our numbers. I don't know where she was most of the time. And there was not enough opportunities to sell because we would be constantly cleaning out the fitting rooms and putting clothes away. They pay was very low and I had to find a new job because I have a Bachelors Degree and I know I could find something better.
