Pros

Good training program for a brand new outlet team. They flew in another manager/trainer for a week's worth of product and values training. A store manager makes or breaks a retail working experience and I lucked out and am glad to work for our current one - days off are always accommodated and the company provided lunches for the first few weeks while we were getting the store set up. Ballistics/profit share is a nice, albeit small, bonus at the end of the month. There's always new sales every week or so and the employee discount is applied on top of it.

Cons

Hired part-time but holiday hours were 40+ per week for many of the employees (not unusual for retail though). No room for promotion or benefits and all employees besides management are part-time. Has high turnover that's expected for retail.

Pros

I like Columbia Sportswear clothing, so it was nice to get a discount on that.

Cons

Management was terrible. He wouldn't let us talk to other co-workers. Wouldn't listen to my request off dates.
