Pros

Great benefits package, health care, stock option, 401K

Cons

No room for advancement, not recognized for a job well done or creative ideas that are positive for the business/call center environment. Micro-managed and treated like you are in preschool. Talents overlooked quite easily. There are favorites in every department and unless your a favorite you get treated very poorly. No cost of living raise. Living cost more but we don't make any more money therefore you must work a lot of overtime to compensate which takes away from family time.

Pros

Compensation package is still in effect but the overall experience in the department was extremely competitive and it is significantly more important to fit in than to have actual, usable knowledge.

Cons

Way too competitive. It takes literally a dozen people to make even the smallest decision and up to a month to put a particular (small) plan into action.

Pros

Good hourly pay Free stuff Good discount

Cons

Not enough hours Not a lot of teamwork going on Not enough training for new employees Favoritism High school mindset, gossip Clique-y attitudes No appreciation towards employees who work the hardest Never any meetings to discuss issues or conversations to resolve issues Long time employees don't get much more than a new hire, what's up with that? No more commission, sells millions but can't help out the sellers a bit more? Snobby customers Too many coupon exclusions, causes issues between cashiers and customer VS AND PINK need to carry bigger bra and clothing sizes, makes employees look bad like we don't support a big sized gal, we love them all shapes and sizes Seems like all managers care about are numbers, not helping associates/sellers/cashiers become better at what they're doing or offer extra training If you decide to put your two-weeks in, prepare to feel like you're basically sitting alone in a huge cafeteria during lunch in highschool. Managers literally avoid employees who they don't want to work there anymore? Like above, managers will do anything without telling you because of personal issues. Personally they CUT my hours and now i'm saying goodbye to this literal hell.
