Pros

Bonuses for making goals Marciano boutique Location on Michigan Avenue Can be fun at times 40-50% discount on certain items Most employees are good to work with Seems to be getting better

Cons

Acceptable pay "Zoning" and using walkie-talkies Sometimes unreasonably high sales goals Closing sucks (sometimes there until 11...other larger stores finish way before) Open until 9 (most stores open until 8) Sometimes understaffed Management will make you work more hours than you want Some unfair treatment by management Keeping the sale area organized is a nightmare Michigan Avenue sucks on holidays Doing stock checks is highly inefficient

Pros

Great building, professional people, great offices.

Cons

Must be on time; it is very strict. Click girls' high school environment: if you are new, no one cares for you to guide you. They dump their work onto you, and since you are new, there is nothing one can say. Mid-level managers act as if they own the place. If you want to work there, make sure to be prepared to be alone for a long time; no real sense of team, just a worker environment clocking in to get in and out. No real training just swim or drown approach.
