      Pros

      Employee discount on clothes

      Cons

      Management was a revolving door. I had three to four different managers while only working there for two years. A lot of my other co workers just stopped showing up for shifts so we were always under staffed.

      If you invest in management, work with them. When I was there over 5 managers that had been with the company for over 7 years were pushed out. Including district and area managers.

      I worked at Pacific Sunwear part-time

      Pros

      Employee discounts. That's about it.

      Cons

      They never gave you hours, very unprofessional, and they didn't train you. You showed up on your first day and they acted surprised that you didn't know how to do everything already. Frightening.
