Pros

Great company if you never worked retail and want to be a lap dog for what they want you to do. If your an educated experienced worker this is not the company for you.

Cons

Low salary..salary based with an expectation to work 45 hours when you're only paid for 40 hours. Long hours daily. Management is expected to do everything from opening the store, running the sales floor, meet your own sales goal with personal "sales per hour goal" plus push the associates to meet their own sales goal. Plus do receiving and shipping of merchandise , visual changes and audits while running the sales floor and meeting segment goals also. Only given 230 hours weekly so business needs were never met yet we got penalized for it with no room to explain. Very hard on management team with no room for growth. Upper Management team has no consideration for their workers. In NY during the bad winter weather we were not allowed to close the store early even though commutes where long and snow was piling up. Overall lack of care for their people.

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.
