Pros

Good selection of merchandise in the store but everything was to bedazzled, not to many pros in this work environment.

Cons

Worst place you could work at in retail, customers do not want to be pushed with product in their face 24/7.

Pros

Flexible schedule for part-time teammates Hundreds of locations Ability to transfer Commission-based income Opportunity to ladder climb High turnover (less competition)

Cons

Commission-based income is inherently inconsistent and the market is still down (chances of making what they estimate as an average are very, very low) High turnover promotes constant bottom-level training and less individual development Scheduling - if you have an open schedule, you run the risk of being schedule more than one week straight regardless of your position Ladder climbing is ambiguous and not nearly as easy as they allow you to believe it is - they insist that interns receive store keys in two months (interns rarely receive store keys at all, which also means no raise) NOT employee focused - do not expect them to develop you like they say they will or keep up with your internship program even if you remind them Bombarding consumers with product, whether or not that actually creates "the most enjoyable shopping experience for the guest", is the ultimate goal

Pros

The pay was good for a mall job, and the discount was really good, layaway was also an amazing plus.

Cons

Stalking of customers, to buy and bomb barding them at the dressing room got a little old. This was part of my training which I was very uncomfortable doing, bc your pay is also commission , there was a lot of sale stealing and back stabbing.
