Pros

It's a nice job for a student or teen getting there feat wet. The hours were flexible, and working on the sales floor can keep you busy.

Cons

It's retail: team leaders with very little creativity or personalities, incompetent or unmotivated co-workers, nasty customers, low pay, no work-life balance, cutting hours, not following through on promises made at the interview, horrible environment: smells, crappy lighting, musiac; dull chores with no mental value, no professional development, no real hope for promotion after a certain level, being looked down by your bosses, it squashes ambition, snuffs out life, dulls the soul and makes one cynical about this fleshy mesh known as humanity, like I said, it's your typical and average retail job.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
