Pros

Helping customers find cute outfits

Cons

Where do I even begin with this place... First, if you are scheduled from 2 p.m. until close, you're not leaving until about 11p.m. You're only going to get a 30 minute break at the most so don't worry about looking cute because you'll be on your feet all day...wear comfortable shoes. 10% employee discount and you can only use it for family members, not friends.(new rule) You'll get the most informal training ever! I've been called off the floor in the middle of working to watch a video on how to properly arrange the shelves. Really? I have to yet be trained on the register and I've been here a month. Also, if you're part-time and interested in working another job, you cannot work for a similar company (h&m,zara,express,etc) because it's considered a conflict of interest. The managers are very unprofessional, childish even. I can't wait to quit! Forever 21 loves to call you in randomly to work even when you're not scheduled. The pay is 8.10 with no experience, which is hardly a living wage.
