Pros

-they prefer to promote within -easy to get time off -increase in pay every few years -lots of different cultures work here

Cons

-can be very cliquish -workers frequently marry/date management, which causes friction -it's nearly impossible to get fired -you are required to take back ALL merchandise, practically. No matter how long it's been since the customer had it and (clearly) wore it or used it.

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
