Pros

Great coworkers & convenient location

Cons

- lack of career mobility, lack of promotion opportunities, they rather hire from outside the company than promote from within. Pay newcomers more. Lack of visibility, working hard and competence is rewarded with more work. Kept in same position, asked to train new people without extra pay. Increases of $0.50 and $0.25 every 6 months is just embarrassing. Based on “merit” but workloads keeps on increasing

Pros

If you genuinely love fashion, this job gives you exposure to a wide range of pieces — from vintage items to modern high-end designers and ready-to-wear private labels. You get hands-on experience seeing and handling unique garments daily, which can be exciting for fashion enthusiasts.

Cons

There is no employee discount. The workload does not match the pay. Each article of clothing requires multiple time-consuming steps, including detailed measurements, authentication, and uploading the item to the website. The expectations for how many items must be completed in a short time frame feel excessive. Even candidates with a fashion-related degree are started at a lower-level position (such as low risk), which makes the role feel not worth the effort or experience level required.
