Pros

Overall the company pays higher than average for retail and there is a lot of mobility in store to move up. You can be hired as a part time seasonal sales associate and become a manager in three years. There are opportunities to travel and support stores in other states and countries and all sales staff can earn vacation, wellness, and holiday pay

Cons

Opportunities to move out of a store into district/corporate are few and far between and oftentimes depends on who you know rather than merits. Due to the nature of the fast paced environment that is constantly changing, people who are good at their jobs tend to not get as many chances to travel because they are needed in store too much. Schedules change constantly and you are almost always working weekends and nights. There is not enough security support for staff and customer issues especially during busy weekends and holidays.
