      I met a lot of good people, had fun, and made decent money.

      Pros

      Money is great working in sales while attending college. Wearing a suit makes you feel good and look sharp. Attractive people. Management was understanding working about school schedule.

      Cons

      Customers can be high demanding and snooty. Expect to be beat from head to toe after working sales events like the yearly anniversary sale. Slow times are...slow (slow = less money). Had to work weekends.

      Pros

      For most part company treats employees with respect. By far the best retail environment I have worked in. As long as you are in a good department, you can make some pretty decent money by retail standards.

      Cons

      Some employees are allowed to get away with what should be unacceptable behavior because they have been there so long. Yes, they produce numbers, but that should not excuse a documented history of bad behavior and outright nastiness to coworkers.

      "Customer service" focus applies at the corporate level as well - at all levels at all times. Excellent place to work!

      Pros

      Comments below apply to the corporate headquarters: -Smart, down-to-earth people across all levels of the organization -Senior management (directors, VPs, and c-level executives) listen to every level of the organization -Strong collaborative culture -If you are a top performer, you will have the freedom to pick your own path, access to top talent, and choose your own projects - very entrepreneurial in that sense -Competition among employees is pretty minimal -Lots of community service work, lots of involvement in the community

      Cons

      Comments below apply to the corporate headquarters: -Sometimes unclear in professional development path -Training isn't handed to you, but if you push for it they are willing to spend the money -Compensation was a complaint by many of my colleagues
