Pros

The hours were flexible, worked with some nice associates. The location I was at was pretty dead so not much actual work, just organizing merchandise and standing around waiting for customers. Nice 40% discount and starting pay for my 2nd job. Corporate always sent fun prizes when the team did well or was best in the district.

Cons

Hands down is shoving the credit card down customers throats. You must ask the customer a minimum of 3 times to apply before you can drop it. Having unrealistic sales goals when the merchandise is over priced. If you weren't making your sales or credit card goals you would be punished by having to dirty work (clean the microwave, clean bathroom, ect....) not allowed to wear jeans, have continuous training. Also since my location was pretty dead traffic was slow a lot which meant standing around doing nothing. I personally loved getting paid to just do that but if you like to be busy make sure you're at a busier location.

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.
