Pros

Allotted clothes, and shoes - which are nice quality and stylish. Sports-influence on work environment is positive. Competitive pay. Like minded people to work with.

Cons

They are constantly cutting work hours. Causing the store manager, assistant managers, and supervisors to do the work of part timers. This creates no continuity in driving opportunity for the store's business. This also prevents staff development to hardly exist on all levels of employees. The retail/outlet division of Puma is very short sided in its planning, choosing to focus on results on a day to day, or weekly basis. This adds undue pressure on management and staff each workday. Because of the reasons above this position is not part of a "fun" work environment, despite "fun and competitive" are selling points by those conducting interviews or recruiting for management positions.
