Pros

The people that work there were the only pro for me. It was very difficult to leave my coworkers.

Cons

VPs and Directors were a challenge to work with as they were constantly talking crap about one another, causing stress and confusing their employees. Higher ups were constantly making employees uncomfortable, doing personal work for them, dropping everything at a moments notice just to get something over for them only for them to tell you their child could do this better. No opportunity for growth as my boss would never leave the company and the company would never see higher ups as dead weight just constantly saying "yes" when we should be asking "why". It's a "yes, women!" mentality, but there's no maternity leave.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
