Good if you're "in", bad if you're not

Pros

Overall, it was a good learning experience for anyone interested in retail, both corporate and not. It's a dynamic work environment with plenty of opportunity to pick up new skills.

Cons

There were long hours, especially since it is retail and you work late hours and holidays. In addition, there seemed to be some favoritism and if you're in the "in" crowd, you'll get promoted quickly but if you're not, then chances are no one will notice you. It can be tough and given the company's trying to cut cost whenever possible, it can be difficult to provide great customer service and have adequate personnel to deal with customers and other store-related issues.

Pros

Flexible work schedule in the sense that you give a months advanced notice. Fast environment with many different aspects of what you need to do at the job. Always on the go and constant involvement with teams.

Cons

Poor balance of work life balance for executive staff. Required to work more than 40 hours a week and you may receive guilt for working less than 60 hours. Difficult to get office work done due to the fact that you must always be available to help a team member or guest. Visits from group, corporate are frequent and always require you to be with them during even if the visit does not involve you.
