Pros

If it is your kind of style it's a great place to work at. The location where I was at was filled with tons of friendly employees and the majority of the customers were fun and friendly too so long as you are. My managers were really focused on the well being of everybody. I was really nervous my first day (which I had the misfortune of it being on black Friday) and my manager could see that and she just told me "You're doing fine, take a deep breath and keep going" and that little bit of encouragement completely focused me in seconds. As long as you're friendly and easy going, it's a fairly easy and fun job.

Cons

I felt like I didn't have enough training with the cash register before I was thrown into a black Friday that was a completely no-sales shift. Also, During the time I was there (with all of the other seasonal employees) nobody seemed to be getting many hours each week.

Pros

Only positive I got out of it was the friends I made... I was training to be a lead( see con).... Regular customers were cool...Music was good at times.. Gained some experience..

Cons

I can go all day all long about how bad of a job this is: - The pay was minimum wage which was horrendous for the amount of work that I was required to do. -Benefits were nonexistent -Discount was crap compared to every other stores in the mall...20% really?? and you expect me to pay for the overly priced clothing that they sell(on occasion they had 40% but I have to buy only things i can wear to work). -Management was not fair at all never seen a case of favortism in a store so strong(I was favored by the way) -I was told I was going to train to be a lead 1 year later still no training for the position and then the company decides to eliminate that position(so no incentive to work hard. -We had to ask for the breaks and they never told us to take them so some shifts I would work a whole shift with no break -Management would get into our personal lives i hated that. -Calling off was a task they would never believe you even if you were dying -Call-in shifts sucked you had to plan your day around them. - They treated seasonal kids really bad(I was never a seasonal I was hired as a regular) I felt bad for them and tried to be as kind as possible to them. -Incompetent people were promoted to assistant managers. -If you didnt sell you will not get hours( I was always top sales this is my observation) Pushing us to sell like we make commission was retarded and the amount of money i would make made me furious with the little credit i would get -Made me do manager duties at times when the managers got lazy or procrastinated so much. - Sucked at training and developing people -I hated the walking out rule I'm a guy I dont carry a purse -The constant walkie communication was unnecessary... And the fact I was pestered to continue you spill my life story over the walkie was extremely annoying -Managers were never on the same page Like i said i can go all day and night with what i hated so i will keep it at this length so not to bore you guys

Pros

This company is always ever changing when it comes to strategies to maximize time efficiently and boosting productivity in every way possible. Very Organized and produces very good merchandisers , Prefers to hire from within, Promotes friendly and social "vibe". Keen on making sure they don't violate employee rights and is very aware of regulations that need to be followed.

Cons

- Managers aren't trained to act professionally - Some managers find loop holes to fire people (purposely looking for dates that employees can't work then claiming that they do "no call no show" and documenting it.) -Associates seem disposable to management team - They don't pay well with the amount of work given - If there is more than one assistant manager on the team, don't expect the pay to be even and fair. - Associates aren't really trained well to be productive.
