Pros

Cute, cheap clothes - that's about it.

Cons

Store manager NEVER leads by example Very unorganized Unprofessional treatment of employees by certain managers Expectation is very high. Compensation is very low. No benefits for 6 months (at full time. If you miss even 1 day without a Dr.'s note, you have to wait 6 more months for benefits.) Horrible hours - even for retail! Often times employees are scheduled to close, leaving the store at 11:30 PM, then scheduled to open - returning to work at 8AM the following morning Over night shifts are required for floor set every 6 weeks They do NOT promote from within, nor do they encourage employee growth
