Pros

The pay (if you advocate for yourself), The Guild Program and other benefits.

Cons

Constantly making more and more restrictions that make doing the job more difficult. Will oftentimes have conflicting directives which will leave an employee stuck between a rock and a hard place. I had a previous boss within my district who didn't like me and would always overlook promoting me while giving me the "It'll be your turn soon" line. In turn I looked for advancement outside of my district and got the promotion within 2 months. My new boss was great and really liked my work ethic/style. After about a month and a half there was a district merge and my old boss became my new boss and I found myself fired for being caught between a rock and a hard place while trying to do y job to the best of my ability.

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.
