Pros

Great discount and environment for people who love fashion! The pay wasn't horrible and it's a great way to get some extra money.

Cons

Management lived for the company and didn't really understand a world outside of the place. They also had a tendancy to protect themselves with one another, instead of taking input or the word of lower level employees.

Pros

I LOVE the company, I love the title and the image that goes with working here, I love the people in my dept. and the customers we have. Discount is only 20% for the average associate but it goes a long way, especially during the events we had.

Cons

Our managers were young(er), so they acted young(er). They were childish and the only way get anywhere or be accepted was try and suck up and be their friend. It was like high school drama... there was talking behind peoples' back, all of that. I wish they didn't.

Pros

They are amazing. Some up the upper management wasn't all that great, but overall I loved it. Wish I was still there.

Cons

Not a lot of room for advancement in some departments. They also only promote from within, so sometimes you run across imcompetent people in positions they have no business being in in the first place.
