Pros
One of my favourite clothing stores to shop in, enjoyed helping giving customers styling advice in fitting rooms. Sometimes nice co-workers join the team, but not for long.
Cons
Hated having to wear the uniform, it is boring and drab, manager was cold, rude and condescending, clique-y environment, I felt the environment was very high-school and immature. There is a pretty high turn-over because people burn out - the work is incredibly monotonous, there is always SO MUCH cleaning up to do after customers... honestly, there was very little that was fun about this job to me. There's a lot of pressure to do everything perfectly and people gossip about each other. I guess the co-workers can make it or break such an environment and I didn't enjoy working with mine. The pay ($9/hr in 2009) plus the measly discount (15%, which is just tax) meant working very hard for very little.
