      Pros

      - Well established company - "Red Rose" dollars used to be given to employees...to be used to in store purchases - Clean and well organized stores

      Cons

      - Managment and upper managment very snobby - Put way more emphasis on dollar goals and not excellent customer service - Tend to favour employees who have been there very long

      Unhappy work environment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I loved the women I worked with in the store and had a liked helping their customer. Their product was of great quality. I loved executing visual merchandising incentives.

      Cons

      Corporate Management left a looming death atmosphere on their employees. True sales are how business is made, however threatening employees with termination for their inability to meet sales goals in a down economy. Very stressful negative work environment.

      Pros

      discount, pay was pretty good, benefits good

      Cons

      hours, expectations too high considering they give you very little to work with in regards to payroll, staff, etc... Very "political" when it comes to promotions, etc... You must be a brown noser to move up...
