Pros

Some flexibility with hours. I am trying desperately to think of something because I am required to write a minimum of 20 words in this box.

Cons

I have worked here several years and proven my skill, my reliability and my determination to go above and beyond. When customers are rude and unreasonable I am told by corporate that I am to keep trying to make them happy until they chose to leave. I am told by corporate to NOT complete alterations unpaid for but when a customer arrives to pick up their suit and find that it is incomplete, they complain and then I am told to finish it for FREE. I am expected to do my job and the sales associates jobs and often the managers job. I have not seen one raise even though the quality and efficiency of my work continues to rank at the top in my district. I was offered a job by a competitor when I had only been here a month and if I had accepted that job at $2/hr LESS I would be making more money today because that company gives RAISES.

Pros

Decent company that is ahead of the game in many aspects of the retail world: Constant training for all types of job skills, high profitability for a brick and mortar retail chain, and focus on diversity and making sure the right people are in the job, simplified and standardized visual standards for the whole company.

Cons

-“Pay scales” make it so more tenured employees could be making up to several dollars per hour less than new and untrained employees. The solution to this is “don’t talk about pay”. You can make more by being fired and re-hired than getting a raise. -Upper Management has become nothing but micromanaging. Many tasks of local management is pointless busy-work. -Store Leaders have zero say in random merchandising choices, leading to useless and unpopular products that do not sell because buying teams for Jos A Bank need to be fired. -Declining quality of products accompanied with increase in price that is noticeable to customers. -Zero advertising to new customers. -Brand is considered secondary to the primary brand of the parent company, Men’s Wearhouse, so remodels, new fixtures, etc are not prioritized for the Jos A Bank brand.
