Pros

Regular employee reviews, generally good customer base, organized system

Cons

In any situation, management takes the side of the customer over the employee. This is probably the same for retail everywhere, but it gets depressing. It's also difficult to leave at the end of a shift, you usually end up staying later to finish things up.

Pros

this is a fun place to work especially during the holidays.if you are into craft or arts you get a discount on all your materials. you can leanr new techniques too!

Cons

long hours especially during holidays, also you can not get time off during that time. because of the nature of the products they sell, those are their heavy selling time. sometimes the expectations of wht they want you to do and the time the allow to do it is a little unrealistic.

Pros

Twenty five percent employee discount, only extremely hectic during Christmas season. Allows for a relaxed work environment.

Cons

Glitter during Christmas season. FES jobs have very high turnover because it's a stressful and unrewarding position. Department managers can get overzealous and begin to think they rule the company because of a small promotion.
