Pros

- Salary is good but with a catch. Expect to handle multiple positions simultaneously (Sale advisor, Store Administrator (full responsibility), Visual Merchandising, Operations, Cashier. - Fast paced and challenging environment (no time to take short breaks!!)

Cons

- Unreasonable deadlines and expectations, Especially if you are handling full administrative roles at any given time. - Inexperienced young management teams and unfriendly upper management. - Every store has different operations guidelines and processes depending on the Store Manager's experience and knowledge of business. - Overwhelming work loads while cutting cost and reducing hours for part timers. (Managers are expected to cover those shift gaps). - HR is too busy handling multiple stores and districts. (Don't expect immediate help from management team, because they are too busy covering sales advisors shifts and missing store administrators). - Advancement opportunities are limited, depending on how much upper management like you.

Pros

can accrue sick hours / vacation easy going staff once you get the hang of a routine, it's easy

Cons

managers could either be nitpicky, or don't help at all company management was even pickier i worked there for four years; by the time i left, the company had changed so many policies that did not make it easier for the worker work/life balance was hard, especially during holidays or summer
