Pros
I worked at two separate locations in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. My experience in Wisconsin was great. It had a fun, laid-back environment with realistic goals and a wonderful team. I had a green mohawk and could dress however I wanted, in fact, they actually encouraged me to dress a little over the top because it would attract curious customers. Discount was 40% off and if you did inventory, you had first dibs on all of the new arrivals. Very flexible scheduling.
Cons
District managers and people higher than them treat you like dirt. I was overworked at my store in Pennsylvania and was paid minimum wage when I was doing the work of three people. I even had to teach my new manager on how to organize the back room. Selling at the Pennsylvania location even made ME uncomfortable. You have to sell a certain amount of shoes, socks, and accessories (shirts, bags, headphones, etc) and if you don't make your goal, you get three warnings before getting fired. I hated hounding people to buy socks when they told me 5 times they didn't care or didn't have the money. My manager would be watching over me like a hawk and asking if I sold them socks while I was ringing them up. You had at least one on call shift every week or so, which gets old after a while. Very hard to move up in the company unless you stick it out for a long time.
