Pros
The pay and benefits are decent for our area. This was a new location, and the pre-opening training was great - lots of trainers and managers from other stores came to help set up and train the managers and staff. It can be a fun place to work. The clothes are really cute, and it was enjoyable to create outfits and displays and use some creativity. They expect you to dress in the style of the clothes the store sells, but they offer a great employee discount!
Cons
At least in my store, the management and staff was well trained when the store opened (it was a new location), but there was a lot of turnover early on, and the later management wasn't trained sufficiently AT ALL. I was promoted to assistant manager and didn't receive any additional training except how to open and close the registers. I received a great deal of criticism from the higher ups about things I wasn't doing or was doing incorrectly, but that I hadn't been trained on. We were understaffed, I didn't have a store manager, and was left to my own devices. The pressure to meet difficult sales and credit card goals was intense and created an unpleasant work environment. I ultimately quit - between the unrealistic expectation and the work overload from being the only full-time employee while we were understaffed, this was not a good experience for me at all. I think the company has the potential to be a great place to work, and I hope that things are becoming more streamlined, and that they are investing in their team.
