Pros

Absolutely amazing product, loyal customers. beautiful displays, new product lines, wonderful co-workers, discount, gratis, ability to build lasting friendships with some really cool people

Cons

Our store was completely roach invested for at least 5 months, roaches would crawl from under the displays while customers were in the store, air conditioning was broken during the summer months, there was no opportunity for advancement. I worked at the store part time for at least two years. I have two degrees in education and was finishing my final degree and was told I was not qualified for a job as a trainer . Really? Too bad, a combination of things left a bad taste in my mouth. There were days when only two customers would step foot in our store. What was hard about leading a team in training? I was in place long enough to train incoming associates, assist with the on-boarding of assistant managers and on top of that some times I would work 6 day weeks at a variety of stores. They never had an issue with calling me in if I needed to cover a shift or clean and organize the store. I was always professional and had an extensive diverse background in retail. Not that I am bitter, but the company really tried to downplay my talents. I definitely could go somewhere else where I would be appreciated.
