      Horrible Company

      Pros

      I loved the associates at our store. We all became very close.

      Cons

      Schedule--Our manager chose favorites and gave two of us EVERY weekend and closing shift; yes, it's retail but the schedule was horrific. Lack of payroll--There were two of us doing every floorset. It was overwhelming and difficult. The company genuinely doesn't care about its employees. We were treated poorly and undervalued.

      Pros

      Camaradery amongst employees very good Good pay ok benefits

      Cons

      the rules are always changing without ever being advised so. "Do not speak at meetings" then "why didn't you speak up at the meeting?" How information was reported changed every season. Open environment throughout the floor only director and above have offices therefore volume is very high.I found it difficult to concentrate at times.
