Pros

As far as retail goes they are a great company to work for. Good quality of life for their managers. They do not make you work crazy hours. Over 7 years I averaged about 43-45 hours. Granted there were some 60 hour weeks but not all the time. You receive extra days off besides your vacation to make up for working on holidays.

Cons

The mall hours and working during the holidays! However that is retail. They were a good company for treating employees fair. However, some policies vary but district and drop in sales has led to a drop in managerment. The drop in business has made them give up their quality customer service for the bottom dollar.
