Pros

The clothes are cute and you get to talk to lots of people. The associate discount was really nice.

Cons

You have to work on commission and sometimes fellow associates will steal sales to make extra money. Also, you have to wear their clothes all the time and so you spent all of your money there at the store.

Pros

I was able to be around a variety of different guests every day & it was fun to help them make outfits. I learned more about sales/selling than ever before. They also teach how to visual merchandise and have an action plan for "add-on's" with guests which makes the sales process easier. The discount was amazing as well!

Cons

Maybe it was just my story, but the atmosphere was very negative and hostile towards upper management. My manager also "over-managed" teammates to the point where she was a nag. Loss prevention situations were not fun either. Also, in my store my manager was very strict about our image and would review us if we were wearing too much or too little make-up or if she personally did not like our outfit. A couple of my teammates would steal sales as well; and when everyone is on commission, it was very frustrating. I think -- HOPE -- a lot of the problems were specific to my store.
