Pros

40% off employee discount, meet interesting people, get to talk sports all day.

Cons

Long hours, high turnover rate, blanket goals from store to store that don't account for differences in individual markets. An absurd number of conference calls, many of which are mandatory and on your days off.

Pros

The pay gets you by. Bridge to next job. If you have to work here then do it. 40% off hats. Free stitching on hats. Always get 1st dips on product.

Cons

Everything that could go wrong does go wrong with the District E03. That's the New York--New Jersey area. Please steer clear unless it's you last option. Hell is a better place.
