      Great culture, lack growth due to politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun culture, great people, open door policy, good benefits and training/development courses

      Cons

      Lack of support for growth, politics, change management. Great for young inexperienced people seeking exposure and a fun environment. Bad for those with experience who want to make a change and better the company, but instead are set back or transferred to other roles and teams due to budgeting cuts.

      Technology is Lagging, Antiquated Corporate Structure

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many good and very helpful people, who truly care about doing the right thing and making sure the customer is always put first. A fun place if you like fashion and the discount is nice, but unless you are in a management position (both in stores and corporate) the discount is 20%, rather than 33%.

      Cons

      Limited bonus structure, extremely nepotistic, limited PTO (2 weeks to start, way below area average). Technology division is generally disorganized and infrastructure is antiquated, though company knows that they need to improve and are putting resources on it. Even in Technology many people came from the stores, which they lack the planning skills necessary to roll-out projects or project manage.

      Decent Money during busy seasons; but management is shady and unfair.

      Pros

      decent money during busy seasons such as christmas, start of spring and back to school work environment is usually fun and upbeat coworkers are usually personable

      Cons

      management team has little regard for separate departments constant restructuring including promoting lesser qualified associates or assistant department managers hours are not as flexible as lead to believe turn-over rate is extremely high due to inexperience in management and inconsistent training of employees
