Pros

Employee Discount, good job if you're a sales associate looking for just part time work while in school. Not much else.

Cons

Extreme work load for Supervisors with minimal payroll and hours. They overload their bigger volume stores with shipment and expect everything to get processed daily on top of keeping the stores visuals perfect and sales up, all at the same time. All of this on only 2 part coverage most of the time too mind you. All of that, on top of their expectation to keep up with their ever changing standards, it's ridiculous.

Pros

Great discount and overall corporate to retail communication is strong. Good training programs for new hires and people looking to advance internally even if it might take 3-4 years to do so.

Cons

Obvious pay gap bias for women at the store manager and other senior management levels, hardly give out raises and they are .12 to .20 cents a year.
