Pros

If you work hard you get recognized for it and they offer more freedom.

Cons

If you don't work hard it doesn't matter and they give endless chances to useless employees. They give hard reviews in order to save money and make it very difficult to move up regardless of how well suited you are for the position.

Pros

-$10-$11.50/hour for hourly sales work -Fast-paced, lots to do -Good store discount -Opportunity to work with a variety of people

Cons

-Store gets really dirty. Not fun to clean up -Worked overtime a LOT. then they'd cut my hours so I wouldn't get paid overtime. I worked a 24 hour shift one time. Then they made me come back in the next afternoon, but cut me for the rest of the week. not a good way to give me a work/life balance!

Pros

Great Vacation days benefits and rarely any black out period which is good for a retail company in America. Easier to transfer to different stores than at most retailers.

Cons

Lack of promotion for managers. Once you reach the manager level the district teams have no interest in developing you. It's all about the store and how you can do more with less while making the same amount. there is never-ending internal promotion process that is more harm than good and leaves people in limbo. They deny people higher positions out of the stores and then don't allow for experience or training to get you to that level so they just hire someone from the outside who doesn't know what they're doing.
