Pros

A decent summer job to earn some money as a sales associate. I worked the morning shift where you unload the truck delivering the merchandise and spend a large portion of the work day properly stocking the merchandise in the right department. The people I worked with were all nice and of course the discounts to clothes always helps.

Cons

Morning shift is always stressful because the managers need the product out of the backroom ASAP and if you fall behind, its spells trouble for the rest of the week. I understand the managers have a boss but sometimes their goals of properly processing the merchandise by day's end is unreasonable. During my time working there over the summer I saw numerous long term employees quit due to disrespect. It really was an associates versus supervisors environment.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
