Pros

decent discounts on clothing customers are nice

Cons

general managers and regional managers do not care about the employees- they only care about the sales. the advertisement and promotional signage is confusing and hard to understand.

Pros

25% Discount Not much more to say, Just run far away from Carters/Oshkosh.

Cons

I was lied to from the beginning. I was hired on promised a Store Manager position after a few months of being hired. I was told I would be promoted often, yet they would hire people from outside the company and keep telling me I am ready for my own store. My DM was always lying to me about getting promoted. She came on a few months after I got hired. Pay was really bad. They over looked potential. High turnover rate. They expect you to train yourself. They DO NOT promote within. I wasted 1 1/2 years on false promises. Horrible corporate management.

Pros

You are in management as a supervisor, you learn a LOT, even though it is part-time you are guaranteed 20 hours unlike the sales associates and I'm going to be getting 40 hours because we don't have a store manager

Cons

too much gossip, my store is disorganized because the DM and SM quit before I started, didn't get my starting pay rate right on first check
