Pros

Good people, once you weed out the backstabbers that will throw you under the bus to get ahead. Mentoring Program that provides individuals with visibility to upper management outside of their department. It pays well compared to other Retail companies, just be ready to put in the hours. Benefits are ok and great discount on products if you have kids

Cons

Work Life Balance - my usual work week consisted of 50-60 hours in the office/travel and then additional hours working at home or going through emails on my phone. Basically this company runs lean, with a high turnover rate, and you are expected to do the work of 2 ppl to be successful. Benefits - medical benefits are a bit lacking and for a Children's Clothing company they should really review their parental leave benefits so that they compete with innovators trying to capture the Millennial worker. Management - favoritism and lots of bullying to get things accomplished. Too many individuals that should NOT manage are put in positions where the are in charge of people. If you are not in their good graces get ready for a rough and stagnant career.
