Pros

good pay structure if you like a lot of OTs great employee discounts and you get first dip on marked downs good health benefits

Cons

Hard to get a bonus if your dept sales number sucks you're basically the head stock person got a store manager who's a micro manger and expects everybody to work, yet she's always on some sort of days off to attend to random events like sickness, funerals...etc etc blah blah blah

Pros

Great reputation for customer service keeps customers coming back - very loyal shoppers.

Cons

Very competitive amongst sales people; Balancing hours to maintain a high enough SPH (sales per hour)-which we are rated on, and having enough hours to cover insurance - which is hard to do during the slow times of year.

Pros

Broad range of price points to be sold when you are on commission. Promote from within culture. Many locations, and it is fairly easy to transfer from store to store.

Cons

The atmosphere is very peppy (I suppose this could be a pro or a con). Return policy can be frustrating for the employees. Not a very broad offering of designer merchandise in most locations.
