Pros
Trendy and fashion-forward clothes You learn a lot about the retail industry They tend to promote from within. 1 hour breaks when you work 9 hour shifts
Cons
Staff get paid minimum wage and they get WORKED. Not a good first job if you've never worked retail before. There's a lot to learn and management are impatient and don't train enough. Managers don't lead by example-- most of them just like to stand around and in front of the computer. HIgh turnover with staff. People don't tend to stay here for long. VERY INFLEXIBLE work schedule. There's no work/life balance. At all.
