Pros

The product is ever changing and it creates a great flow of ideas on how to manage all the inventory and display everything to make the customer need to have the products in groups instead of just the one item

Cons

the management, district and store, had a very difficult time communicating expectations to everyone. those people that were on the same page today were gold but ten minutes later they needed to be fired for sneezing at the wrong time. its a mild exaggeration but truely only a mild one. If the store and district manager gave the staff the support they needed to do a good job it could have been accomplished. I believe that both were way out their element, one was a former mall clothing store manager who could not make it in a single store without hr having to come and investigate the situation then transfer her to another store. the other was a former book store manager, with not a lot of sense of style for a store that prides itself on style.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
