Pros

I enjoy working for the company. Recently I've applied for a position in another store, and was surprised I also have to do a phone screening. When I clicked the link, there were no available time slots! When I checked back 3 days later, there they were. Strange. I hope the interview goes well.

Cons

Sometimes it may not be clear how to approach job transfers within company. Communication with HR is key.

Pros

Great benefits. Discount. Nice customers. Beautiful store environment.

Cons

Store manager and many department extremely cliquish. No flexibility in terms of scheduling. After the training period, the honeymoon is over and they treat you like an indentured servant. I don't think store manager or most of the department managers know the first thing about managing people, listening, motivating and showing appreciation.
