Pros

Decent working hours to work-life balance available.

Cons

Wages weren't that great. Discounts on purchasing clothing as a sales associate weren't that generous as told at time of interview. Customers received generous discounts on purchases. Hours were cut to meet weekly payroll. Favoritism amongst employees for obtaining more hours. The store was horribly disorganized and sloppy! No creative nor artistic input allowed. Inhouse bickering amongst employees. Not friendly team playing environment. Manager placed more workload on Sales Associates that didn't fit the job description. No career advancement available. No compensation nor benefits for sales associates.
