Pros

-The opportunity to make some really great friends. -The assistant managers have been where you are, they get you, and were pretty laid back.

Cons

-There store manager is horrible and made questionable comments to female employees. He doesn't do anything but sit in his office and play around on his phone and only comes out to the sales floor to make an example of certain employees. During the summer and holidays, your availability is open season. Unless you have a good excuse he'll work you when he wants and how he wants, including one week over full time but the next two will be under 20 so that he doesn't have to give you benefits. -The turnover rate is insane. The first day you work is usually a straight eight hour shift of you folding jeans on the Wrangler wall, if you make it through the day without going to lunch and never returning then you'll get assigned a "department." -The whole store runs on favorites, if you buddy up to the store manager or the assistants you'll get your hour break at a decent time, if you don't you'll either have to go on lunch two hours into your eight hour shift or you'll get to leave with two hours left, if they don't forget you haven't eaten. -The pay will never be worth anything you put up with in this store. -Two words: Tent sale. -If you're a cashier you might, one day, see yourself as a sales associate, but don't count on it. This company isn't exactly full of opportunities.

Pros

Somewhat consistant hours while working full-time

Cons

1: Nepotism is a buig problem where i work, which isnt surprising considering it is a family owned company. If done right, nepotism can be beneficial for everyone and a good thing overall, but where i work it iamily and friends were given raises without being as qualified or experienced as others. 2: where i worked, there was no moving up, unless you were friends or family.
