Pros

The product is ever changing and it creates a great flow of ideas on how to manage all the inventory and display everything to make the customer need to have the products in groups instead of just the one item

Cons

the management, district and store, had a very difficult time communicating expectations to everyone. those people that were on the same page today were gold but ten minutes later they needed to be fired for sneezing at the wrong time. its a mild exaggeration but truely only a mild one. If the store and district manager gave the staff the support they needed to do a good job it could have been accomplished. I believe that both were way out their element, one was a former mall clothing store manager who could not make it in a single store without hr having to come and investigate the situation then transfer her to another store. the other was a former book store manager, with not a lot of sense of style for a store that prides itself on style.

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
