Pros

Plenty of hours, thorough training, pay was (just barely) over minimum wage.

Cons

Manager was a bully and couldn't figure out how construct a schedule and stick with it, hostile work environment, drama, coworkers (including manager) stole my sales to improve their own numbers, understaffed store resulted in having to stay a few extra hours or to come in to work when not scheduled= no social life, having to stay an hour+ later after closing time, too many tasks put on one person, harassing customers to make extra purchases, having to bug customers for their personal information at register, threats from manager and DM in regards to not meeting numbers and sales goals, inaccurate conversion counter, not being allowed to speak even briefly with other coworkers unless work-related, dishonest manager....the list could go on and on.

Pros

Decent discounts, pretty good return policy.

Cons

Always understaffed, never enough payroll. The merchandise itself is poor quality and way over priced, and management wonders why sales are usually bad. You are almost always working by yourself, left on your own to do mass amounts of work. Theft was a problem because of this, especially since the smaller stores have no security and its hard to keep an eye on everything when youre the only one there and have a million different things to do.. and god forbid you dont get something done. My store manager was very unprofessional and would often just sit in back doing "paperwork" and neglect his duties.

Pros

30-50% off discount. Good benefits, even for part time associates. Co-workers.

Cons

Too much work for too little pay. As a manager being expected to run a high volume mall on very little payroll and still meet all KPI's it's impossible. Clear favoritism from DM to certain managers. Being punished for bad CSAT scores by requiring managers to work a 6th day (Less payroll to use!) is nonsense. One person can't do the work of 3 people all the time and not have a nervous breakdown. Part time associates are expected to do everything a manager does for 1/6 the pay.
