Pros

Employee discount...? Other than that, having a hard time thinking of anything LOL

Cons

Workload is unrealistic and ridiculous, especially for floor associates. Attending to dressing rooms, "recovering" departments, and all the other duties they push on you in very limited amount of time, and almost impossible for one person to accomplish. I lost 10 pounds working here because of the constant running around, usually in a panic with 1 million things to do. Not to mention they never have enough cashiers, and we were expected to run to the cash register every time needed. End up being stuck on registers for 3 hours, and your supervisor wonders why your department is a mess. Management extremely pushy, and act like they look down on you. Very impersonal staff, especially management. Supervisors are under pressure, and they return the pressure onto you. The pay is a joke for the amount of workload and the expectations. Minimum wage, without much of a raise in the future. The turnover rate is high for a reason: It's a very unpleasant job, and the pay doesn't match up with the work. I dreaded going into work everyday, and honestly, the job stressed me out. Not a pleasant experience, and never again is all I can say.

Pros

Company has excellent policies for work/life balance. Insurance benefits better than most.

Cons

Part-timers have no guarantee of hours they are scheduled. Even full timers only work 36 hours. Company policies not always followed with scheduling.
