Pros

I started when I was 17 and worked my way up really quickly within the store management. I enjoyed my experience with training and development. I learned a lot in this job and it was not commission based. If you are able to get a full-time position the benefits and compensation is really competitive and the benefits are great. I didn't pay much for myself when I had them.

Cons

I dislike the nature of never being able to get time off around the holidays but that is retail in general. We had pretty high turnover in this store - The district manager was not very understanding with how well the store was doing in the first few years of opening. I also didn't like that there were such strict standards that had to be met in the store - individuals weren't paid commission and still expected to hit a certain quota.

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.
