Pros

Casual and fun atmosphere! The dress code rocks and they give you free jeans (2 pairs your first yr. then one pair every anniv. year). No high pressure selling required; you get to actually enjoy your customers and make great connections. Communication from upper mgt./Corporate is consistent, however their communication style is a little condescending. Levi's is a global brand so you feel proud representing the company.

Cons

Too many checklists: the Opening/Closing checklist contains alot of minutae, and they need to change the name of this checklist - "Rituals" is a word with negative connotations. The hours required to get your job done can be very long and tiring (10-12 hrs./day). The POS register system is archaic and they are still using paper gift certificates. No respect for mgrs. work/life balance. They want you to be married to the job.
