Pros

Bonus money and salary. Had some very dedicated key managers. Have only a few good honest employees.

Cons

Store Manager overworked, very high stress job. All hourly paid min wage and expected them to live by phone to be called in to work, Poor management in the filed and corp level. Everyone is treated like they all are stealing, mgt trusts no one.

Pros

You CAN make a lot of money during busy times, if you have the right crew, they can be like family (which is awesome, because if you plan on being anything but a sales associate, you won't be seeing much of your actual family), and sometimes if you catch their corporate office in a good mood, they can be very helpful product-wise.

Cons

Tons! As just a keyholder, I was carrying out management duties more often than what anyone getting paid as little as I was should be comfortable doing. I was with the company for a year and I was supposed to receive a 25 cent "raise" but was instead essentially tricked into a 20 cent raise. This, and many other things, such as the district manager allowing employees and even non-employees to work "off the clock" to meet styling update goals and to keep the store clean (honestly, the unbelievably messy customers and the very little coverage we were allowed to help pick it all up was a big part of why I left), proved to me that this company isn't about its customers or employees. It is only about making and saving as much money as possible and if it means saving five cents, they will NOT hesitate to walk all over anyone and everyone. My best advice is to just not go in ready to take this place seriously, because you will get taken advantage of.

Pros

Somewhat flexible schedule. Not too stressful. Simple stock and merchandising practices. Manager and District Managers were great and made it feel like a family. Easy to make sales. Got 1st dibs on cute shoes and they have Layaway!

Cons

Salary was not great. Need to update to more modern technology for registers and payroll practices. Short breaks. Lots of theft and attempts at theft.
