Pros

~15% off merchandise 30% off on associate shopping days ~Clean Sales Floor ~Some associates who work with you can make the time pass a little faster

Cons

~Unrealistic expectations of what needs be done by the closing team ~Minimum wage ALWAYS for new employees, minuscule raises every year < 30 cents. ~Store is gossip city, will walk in hearing people talk bad about you behind your back. ~Workload is enormous some nights, they expect you to work at lighting fast pace ~Managers for the most part do absolutely no work and give little to no direction. There are a few exceptions however. ~Soliciting credit is a pain. ~Managers do not know how to schedule employees ~Closing team have to stay longer then scheduled in order to finish. ~Sales floor back up on cash registers sometimes for half an 8 hour shift and are still expected to have their department and fitting rooms looking pristine by the end of the night.
