Pros

Good benefits, employee discount, fun environment.

Cons

Some stores open on Easter and Thanksgiving but not others. Emphasis on numbers and hitting goals, some store managers manipulate their numbers to look good. Some managers are treated differently depending on thier "friendship" with upper management.

Pros

50% off shoes once a month shoes employees management experience

Cons

disorganized when it comes to training LOW pay compared to other retailers unfair when it comes to promotions (i.e., people with worse numbers get promoted while the ones with better numbers get written up/fired) the customer journey is stupid and chases customers out of the store rude customers that tell you to get out of their face because you have to get every "critical action" out to them role playing at meetings
