Pros
Flexible schedule for part-time teammates Hundreds of locations Ability to transfer Commission-based income Opportunity to ladder climb High turnover (less competition)
Cons
Commission-based income is inherently inconsistent and the market is still down (chances of making what they estimate as an average are very, very low) High turnover promotes constant bottom-level training and less individual development Scheduling - if you have an open schedule, you run the risk of being schedule more than one week straight regardless of your position Ladder climbing is ambiguous and not nearly as easy as they allow you to believe it is - they insist that interns receive store keys in two months (interns rarely receive store keys at all, which also means no raise) NOT employee focused - do not expect them to develop you like they say they will or keep up with your internship program even if you remind them Bombarding consumers with product, whether or not that actually creates "the most enjoyable shopping experience for the guest", is the ultimate goal
