Pros

LOVED my management team and the staff team. Everyone was so nice and helpful with coaching tips on offering outfit suggestions. I worked here on the weekend while I was in college near by. I most likely would uave kept the job if they didnt close the store. This was in a Tanger outlet and Banana had been there in a great location for more then 20 years.

Cons

I can't think of any

Pros

Some of the Co-workers Fast paced Always something to do

Cons

Most of the leadership - favoritism, fake, no loyalty to anyone but themselves - Love to outside hire for positions instead of looking internally Work load is crazy much more than your getting paid for Expected to do more than your own job Can be stressful
