Pros

Fantastic employee discount, pro deals, and being able to relate to almost every person who walks through the door. Really fun place to work.

Cons

Management is there for themselves, not the outfitters. As long as they look good, that's all they care about. They are definitely good people, and good managers, just not very caring about the overall sales goals

Pros

Two paid 15 min breaks for 7 hour shifts and an hour lunch, incentive to get customers to sign up for credit cards, able to pick up hours in other departments if trained more, pad vacation after 1 year, food brought it on busy days to feed employees

Cons

Upper management cutting corners, never given over time or 40 hours expect during holidays, closing of many positions after upper management changed, promotion based on years with company and not experience
