Pros

You will get a 20% employee discount. My manager was good and told me my mistakes in a polite and professional manner. They often have food for employees like sandwiches, lemonade, or donuts. Excellent company culture from what I can tell.

Cons

As a seasonal employee, they likely will not let you stay on after unless you have full-time availability. The hourly rate is very low and you will only make decent money if you sell a lot. Selling a lot is hard when you deal with angry customers everyday and people who hate their bodies. Sales takes a lot of luck. My customers said I was very sweet and still didn't always buy. The merchandise selection was poor. People don't like ordering online either despite free shipping and free returns. To set up for the anniversary sale, it's very possible that you will stay until 1 am the night before. HR at the store level does not respond to emails in a timely manner. Had no register training.

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
