Pros

Competitive compensation (that's how they attract people), decent bonuses and benefits, you learn a lot in a short period of time, and some fun good hearted peopl sprinkled throughout.

Cons

Leadership likes to boast about company values but they're simply words on paper and carry ZERO value. Management is not trustworthy and seem to have a hidden agenda. Extremely political environment- border inappropriate across senior management. Limited career growth in the corporate office unless you're sleeping with or married to a member of management. Lots of turnover in this cut throat environment from store operations to finance to HR.

Pros

It was a solid, easy first job and I learned a lot about working retail.

Cons

They gave us an "efficiency grade" each week based on how little idle time there was during the checkout process, but this meant that we had to take extra steps throughout the process to make sure we paused the checkout while removing hangers and hard tags, and this resulted in customers not being able to see their total while the screen was paused. This was back in 2022 but it was a very overkill and unnecessary system. The assistant managers would turn their walkie talkies off and I would miss breaks regularly while working the fitting room because I wasn't allowed to leave my post and I couldn't reach out to the assistant managers. The store was always disorganized.
