Pros

Good company to learn about fast paced, agile retail operations; organization tries to stay close to customers and store associates by regular visits to its stores; many hard working, mostly younger employees; very quick turn around on decisions that directly impact the business; decent salary and benefits; high involvement in giving back to the community (United Way, food drives, off-sites helping local charities)

Cons

Employees are not always treated in a way that feels right; very high turn-over rate; culture of poor work/life balance; lack of long term strategy, most actions are tactical; many activities seem driven by the need to make changes for change sake rather than by data or a vision supporting a strategy; a lot of time, effort and money is spent on executing the chairman's ideas, nobody seems to be able to push back

Pros

If you are smart and willing to do whatever it takes, you will get promoted. If you find the right mentor, your development will be a priority. If you love retail, this is the place for you.

Cons

Hope you get lucky with your manager and director and VP because if you end up in the wrong department on the wrong category, the environment is toxic.
