Pros

Good pay, pretty good discounts, not too hard of a job.

Cons

Managers will ask for you to cover a shift or come in early, if you can't they get angry. rude customers. I'm an exotic dancer and I get more respect from the men in the clubs than I do from co-workers and customers here. It's pathetic. They tried making me come into work with the flu last year, knowing I had a fever of 104.

Good loyal customers who shopped the brand for years. Great employee discount! Good pay compared to other retailers.

Unrealistic expectations! . Can't speak with anyone at corporate about what going on in the stores.
