Good Company for the retail experience only

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you meet while working at lids, everyone would lend a hand with your training. It's a good company for high school and college students that's not looking for a long term job

Cons

Another dead end retail job with promises of advancement in the company and doesn't follow through when the time arrives for advancement. When it comes for managers to get a decent salary, don't expect it
