Pros

40% off discount on things you can wear to work, 25% off discount for decor/gifts

Cons

I've always loved this store. I felt that it would be a great place for me to work as it would be somewhere I would love to come to every day. However, this plan immediately fell apart upon my interview process. I got a call from the manager and set up a time to come. I drove an hour and a half home from college to go and the manager wasn't even there! I had to set up a phone interview to do with someone else the next day. She said she would review the information with the manager and I would receive a call within the next week. I didn't and had to call them. I set up another interview, drove back again, and met the manager. It sounded set, and again I was told I'd get a call within a week. Once again I never did and once again I had to call them. The manager wasn't there and I was told I'd get a call within a few days and never did. At this point it was not even worth it for me anymore. I would've loved to work there, but this kind of ruined the store for me. I would not want to work for a place with management who can't even pick up a phone for you.

Pros

Management and employees were all very nice. We all "stuck it out" together on some grueling nights. I'm just trying to fill up space to have more than 20 characters.

Cons

-I worked there for 6 months. Almost every week you would have a girl quit. Many girls would quit after their first shift. That should tell you a lot about how this company works. -Mission Monday's that include donating a 10% of sales just happen to be on the days with the lowest goals. -Some of the shifts are graveyard shifts that involve going into the store at 8pm and not leaving till earliest 4am. You'd think they'd pay extra for these shifts like any other company would but nope not the case. -Mark up of clothing is awful. Clothing is god awful quality. I feel bad for the customers who will spend $100 on a dress only to return it after it breaking apart after 1 wash. They say all clothing needs to be dry cleaned but seriously, I don't think the clientele you like to aim for has the money to dry clean all of their clothes. -I can't even comment on how pathetic $8 an hour is for how much grunt work you need to do. -Company likes to move around management positions (Move someone in Ops to visuals instead). I don't understand how this would benefit if a person excels in one department, that's what they were hired for, to throw them in another department.

Pros

Wonderful company that empowers you to own your business and grow your teams. This brand truly believes in standing out for good always in all we do.

Cons

Truly cannot think of any cons of working for an organization that believes in people and making a difference in local and global communities.
