Pros

The company has a great reputation in the general public, and it's nice to hear how much people love shopping there.

Cons

In the time I've been with the company, I've seen the company become less focused on its people and more focused on goals, metrics, and "unfunded mandates"; by that last one, I mean that the company sends down goals and new plans for store teams to execute, but they never give the teams the tools they need to accomplish these new directives i.e. more payroll.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
