Pros

If you do not have any real work experience, this is the place to go. There is a 15-20% employee discount on products as well.

Cons

The work is repetitive and can be boring. The pay is not that high and workers may need to work long hours. Closing is the worst part of the job because clothes need to be hung, organized, and folded everywhere.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
