Pros

Merchandising is fun, and the store itself is fun to keep up with and organize. Pay is good for the job.

Cons

Management, especially District are very unprofessional and pack on more work when there’s already so much to do. They hire externally most of the time so it’s hard for anyone to move up, and when they do hire people externally the turnover rate is out the roof because the managers don’t know how to manage people or create a team. Usually WAY too much inventory coming in the truck full of stuff the store doesn’t need. Customers get very confused about the self checkout so someone always needs to be standing up front, most of the time customers would be LIVID if they had to check out their own stuff.

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
