Pros

Your direct counterparts will be the most amazing people you'll work with. The company happens to hire some of the best rank and file professionals in the business.

Cons

Unfortunately, unless you're willing to go along to get along, or you just happen to be the last man standing, you'll never be promoted. Or you happen to be a fave of upper management. Doesn't matter if you have the skill set. Looks also matter a whole lot. If you don't have the "Ralph Lauren" look, good luck getting a good review or anything resembling any acknowledgement that you're actually good at your job.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
