Pros

Decent pay, Sundays off, 15% discount (includes clearance). Unfortunately, I can't think of much else.

Cons

- Immature coworkers (most of them over the age of 30). Department heads lollygag and find tiny details to whine incessantly about instead of working with their associates to develop solutions. The gossip mill is always propelled by the 30+ old ladies that worked at my location (including co-managers). - Needs work on hourly distribution Certain department heads would stay on the clock to finish duties that could be done the next day; results in limited hours for other associates and confuses payroll concerning said dept heads - Inability to stay consistent with sales. Associates are often thrown under the bus by managers simply to please the customer when circumstances cannot grant the customer's current desire. - Nonfriendly environment to work in. Gossip leads to distrust and malcontent towards management and department heads (excluding a few).
