Pros

Great discount, good work/life balance. Most of my co-workers were pretty cool but gossip seems inevitable.

Cons

Sales and credit card expectations. If I'm going to be pushed so much to make sales numbers, I'd like some commission because I'm busting my ass. You're constantly lectured on one thing or another. You're sales are great? Cool, but you're UPT is not good enough. Customer connection is generally not bad, but one customer was extremely stand-offish and did not want to be helped. You're still expected to follow them around and bug them. Manager scolded me in the middle of the store for not "connecting" with her, and the customer did not like the things I picked out for her, so my manager picked out something different. Best part was when the customer came out of the dressing room, mid-scolding, and manager asked how she liked what she picked out as if to prove to me something. Customer stated she did not like it at all. It was awesome.

Pros

AMAZING team and encouraging, helpful supervisors. Helped me in every aspect of life, even outside work. Definitely made connections for life.

Cons

Retail hours: holidays, evenings, and weekends. Lower than average pay, and benefits are not the best.

Pros

I work with a great group of girls that really care about the people they work with each day.

Cons

DL is very micro managing and no one does anything because she's been with the company for years. They play favorites in the district and say they want to support you in a project but they really want to control it and have you do it their way but they aren't there for the execution of it. They control when and how often you can use your PTO and believe that you have to eat sleep and breath maurices even in your days off. Its absolutely draining. There are some good DLs but there are some that are just narcissistic. And there is no way to provide the feedback of what you are dealing with because you are dismissed, told that she knows what she's talking about because of the years under her belt and then when the plan fails that wasn't your plan to begin with, you get blamed. Its unfair and I feel trapped.
