Great Opportunities

Pros

Opportunities for advancement are great. There seems to be a lot of promotion within the company. The entry-level pay is above average for large retailers. 50% employee discount is nice. Bonus opportunities every quarter, and paid holidays. The only company I know of that offers paid vacation and sick time to Part-time employees. Management is always available to listen to you, and help you learn. Regular customers know you by name.

Cons

They expect you to work and give a full 100%. The pace of work can be very demanding. Some days can be very stressful, if you let them. There's something of a "fly by the seat of your pants" environment. Merchandise has to be on the sales-floor for 2 days before employees can buy it. And like any retail, there's always some challenging customers and coworkers.

Great coworkers and it's pretty quiet most of the time.

Dirty, customers are rude, high stress and it's unneeded.

Pros

I've made some good friends and learnt a lot about how to be a manager of a relatively busy store.

Cons

Constant pressure to achieve unreasonable targets! They have a habit of employing people who don't achieve, then we are stuck with management that have to have their hand held for months. There's no incentive for sales assistants, management have a bonus scheme and christmas conference's with "celebrity" guests. The whole team besides top 2 have to just keep on working as hard as always, without even a thank you! Higher management don't seem to care at all about the people that actually keep the shops stocked and the customers happy.
