Pros

There is nothing so far I can consider a "pro".

Cons

In my 22 years of retail, I have never seen so many employees wander around, wasting time on the clock with no accountability. Employees hide in the backroom to avoid helping customers and getting stuck doing real work. Leadership walks fast and looks busy without actually doing anything. The cliques are mind blowing, certain groups of employees never more than five feet from each other all day long, no matter what they're doing. Phone ringing off the hook, customers requesting assistance from the sales floor, co-workers ignoring it all, standing in back room talking about what's for lunch - management does nothing.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
