Pros

It's a very clean and decent workplace on the whole. If you just need some hourly work, it's very pleasant as far as retail goes. They're very big on cross-training so you can gain experience in a variety of fields and help keep you from being bored.

Cons

The promotional system is a pain, as you have to re-do the entire interview process with new managers from other stores for any leadership position. Additionally, raises are only given once annually, as opposed to on a more regular basis.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
