Pros

Well established brand synonymous with great customer service. When it's good it's just that.... good not great.

Cons

You are paid hourly or commissioned whichever is greater that pay period. When business is slow you do not make enough to maintain. Most managers are good sales people not well equipped or good leaders. Discount is not very rewarding.

Pros

discount, paid vacation, some room to grow, career and product knowledge. Great start if you are into upscale retail business

Cons

depends on location and people. If you are working in the busy downtown location, your managers and co-workers are very supportive and understand the daily situations. If its in the suburban area, you are likely getting constant pressure to make sales for the store when the traffic are low on weekdays
