Pros
Co workers are great and we share fashion ideas with each other and play off each other's strengths.
Cons
Brought in inexperienced manager 6 months ago and DM NOW says she will start training her. We were told by same DM that the company DOES NOT "Train to the job".Thank God the customers can't see our back room and forgive our often empty walls. Do a lot of send sales for things lost in back room

Pros
Excellent training programs. Constructive feedback given in a professional manner. Upper management (DM, RD, TMD, etc.) were all supportive and offered help and ideas to achieve goals. Plenty of opportunity for growth and advancement. Company worked with associates to determine the appropriate 'fit" in the organization. Very good benefit package.
Cons
It's retail, so hours worked and store opening hours can be challenging and long. Pay scale was acceptable, but could be improved. Yearly pay raises were almost offensive, usually maxing out around 3%. Sales goals could sometimes appear highly unreachable, especially during economic downturns. Therefore, quarterly bonuses were not often reached. Needs better work/life balance.
