Pros

The paycheck is the only thing to look forward to in this place.

Cons

The office is extremely disorganized, they bombard you with so much work and little to no training. Management was very unapproachable. Every time you had a question they made you feel like an idiot, very disrespectful. The "favorites" had the least work and complained the most. Most of the employees were horrible and gossiped more than they worked. There really is nothing positive I can say about this place, it was a really bad experience.

Pros

The only pro to working in this place is payday which is sad because it's not much.

Cons

This place is the pits. The place is a dump and the people walk around with their noses in the air as is they were working in Bergdorfs or something.

Pros

Discount on clothing is great

Cons

Worked in the office for a few months. Filthy carpets that smelled like dead mice. Dust and mice feces everywhere. No one seemed bothered by the smell nor dirt. Outdated equipment and software. Staff gets a joy of gossip and seems like everyone likes to backstab one another. Very poor benefits and non-existent days off. Company is stuck in 70's with no desire to improve and save money on costly useless procedures. Their stores are screaming for visual merchandiser. Byers are over 75 with no idea what's in trend. Markups are very high. Horrible experience.
