Pros

Liberal policies. As a part-time associate you get 30 min of wellness hours for each 20 hrs you work. The pay is better than most retail jobs here.

Cons

I get paid $17 after working for a little less than a year after I was paid $16 when I was first hired. Come to hear from one of my managers that a Columbia Sportswear Store is opening up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and they’re hiring employees at $19 even though down here in Florida our cost of living is higher! I understand it’s because that Columbia store is opening up at a new mall, so they’re offering competitive pay to distinguish themselves from other stores, but it’s still disappointing.
