Pros

Offer competitive starting wage. Friendly and helpful co-workers. Fun work atmosphere. Helpful department supervisors. Good for part-time or seasonal work.

Cons

Don't expect store managers or assistant managers to care much about you. They preach open door policies and talk about their desire to work with you, but when it comes time to act, they fall short. Managers and supervisors play favorites with certain employees.

Pros

Trained in one store and worked at another. Training store was fabulous, reflective of the store manager. Customers were best part of job.

Cons

The store manager was completely ineffective. Other assistants did what they wanted with no communication to others; very little cooperation between assistants. Employees ruled the store due to H.R. manager's obsession with "be nice". This store took it to the extreme. I actually had an employee yell at me on the sales floor and nothing happened to her after I reported it. Other assistants that I trained with said that they experienced the same behaviour from employees in their stores. Favorites got away with everything and managers didn't know how to discipline employees; other good employees left because they were overlooked.
