Pros

There are no pros to working here. If you are thinking of working here don’t.

Cons

Where do I start. You are treated horribly. Upper management doesn’t care about anyone but numbers. You are yelled at and put down in front of other associates and customers. Supervisor are even put down and yelled at by upper management on the sales floor. One top manager is the biggest problem. She is terrible, rude to associates, and has no compassion for us at all.
