      I met a lot of good people, had fun, and made decent money.

      Pros

      Money is great working in sales while attending college. Wearing a suit makes you feel good and look sharp. Attractive people. Management was understanding working about school schedule.

      Cons

      Customers can be high demanding and snooty. Expect to be beat from head to toe after working sales events like the yearly anniversary sale. Slow times are...slow (slow = less money). Had to work weekends.

      Overly political, excessive favoritism, little regard to sales people unless they are pacesetters

      Pros

      -Commission sales, so you can make a lot more there compared to other retailers that just pay you hourly -PTO and health benefits..(although I wasn't eligible for either for almost a year because I wasn't working the full 40 hours a week) -Opportunity to "climb the latter" if you are willing to drink the kool-aid, be SUPER excited, enthusiastic and fake. Also be best friends with the people that matter... store managers, regional managers, HR, etc.

      Cons

      -Very little respect given to sales people unless you have been there forever and are a top producer in a top department... if you are in a failing department you are probably out of luck -Hours can be extreme during sales and Christmas time, little time off allowed during those times (nights and weekends are always expected) -Managers can be fired without any warning, for the most ridiculous, unfounded reasons -Overall just extremely political, so if you can play that game then it's a great place to grow your career
