Pros
-Higher pay than most retail organizations -Great benefits: health, vision, and dental insurance; 401k, time and a half pay on Sundays -Work with great people -Overall the job is fun and pretty easy -High commission if you work in shoes (10%)
Cons
-Have to work most weekends -Promotions are based mostly on politics and not on experience or skill -Management overtly plays favorites, and will let some people get away with anything, and will treat others very harshly -Overly strict about minor infractions -No job security; many people have been fired -Upper management does not support long-term employees or department managers; they will listen and believe most complaints made by new employees or customers, even if they lie -Low commission for every department except shoes and cosmetics -Most rules in the company are learned by word of mouth, since the company does not provide a handbook that is available to most employees; so people are often breaking rules that they did not know existed, and being put in counseling or even fired. -They provide little to no training for department managers
