Pros

You become very close with your fellow Assistants on your team because you end up crying on each others shoulders because its so terrible to work there!

Cons

Management does not train AT ALL!!! Every conversation you have is a test and if you don't pass EVERY single test, it will be held against you until review time. There is terrible work life balance, Assistants end up working 12 hour work days (which is fine except the pay does not reflect the effort) Different levels of management will give you conflicting feedback so you never really know what to work on or how to improve.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
