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.
