Pros

They have a set of standards you have to meet as an associate, and those are really nice because you can see your stats and how you improve/decline each week. It was always great to see a week where you had really good sales! The discount was absolutely wonderful-40% off regular priced and then with clearance you got an additional 20% off the clearance price. Pretty good hours for part time.

Cons

The credit card. You're constantly pushing people to sign up for this card even though you know they don't want it. After a while you start to feel bad about it. And if you don't meet card standards, you're criticized for it. Maybe it was just my store, but the manager and some of the associates were extremely catty. Manager played favorites. When I first started the atmosphere was great and I loved going to work, but after working there a couple months the drama was a little too much to deal with.

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.
