Pros

The discount was good, but considering the quality of items, by using your discount you're paying for what the product SHOULD be priced at. My co-workers were likeminded and mostly great people The regular customers were a joy to get to know

Cons

Management. There was a lot of gossiping within the store by the higher ups. I felt like I was in high school again with all of the drama that the managers started. The managers were constantly standing behind the cash wrap gossiping, outside of the store on the phone with personal calls for 30-45 minutes at a time, or out on an hour long walk for no reason, while the rest of the employees worked for their sales. They would always come back into the store angry that they didn't have any sales then proceed to start stealing sales that the associates worked hard for. The sales goals were unrealistic and you would get yelled at if it was a slow day and you didn't meet your goal. They won't give you breaks either. You have to ask for it, but be prepared for them to get upset that you try to take a 30 minute break. But it's okay that they leave for an hour or two for no reason at all. They like to cut hours for no reason and hope that will make an employee quit, because they have no good reason to fire them. The whole company is hypocritical. And management is a joke.
