Pros
- You get to work with a renowned brand and passion for the brand are shared amongst most employees. -You are trained and understand how a multi-million dollar store works and thrives. - New styles are inputted every week with new things to learn. - You are designed to understand multiple roles and responsibilities of the store, it's KPI's and management style.
Cons
- Management team is horrible and you understand that you aren't a part of a 'team' or 'family', you are simply a commodity and you will know this pretty early on, either directly or indirectly. - Majorly political views within the store; they pick favorites and disable those who should be getting training. - Management has gone so far as to control what employees do outside of work - extremely unprofessional and do not exhibit in any way that they are on your side. - You learn on-the-go; in some cases, this can be desirable, but management will promise you training that you will never get. Most of what you learn will be on the spot and this is highly inefficient for such a large company. If you have not undergone the training, it will be blamed on yourself as if you were supposed to know it yourself. - No support for yourself or your team, everyone's viewpoints are different which can cause a disarray in both productivity and the management's integrity. - Even when accomplishing large tasks, the job is highly unrewarding. You are constantly told to complete tasks outside of your role, and undoubtedly outside of your pay. This job has undoubtedly caused mental and emotional turmoil. - Easily the most chaotic and unprofessional retail store I have worked at (and this is coming from someone who was on the management team).
