Pros

Pay! Pay! Pay! In one department in the store you get more then 1% commission there is alot of money to be made in that ONE department. The people I worked with were awesome! Made alot very good friends working there. The customers over all were always fair and treated me with respect. Time off is done by who was there the longest so if you held out ,turnover is very high you would soon get to pick whatever days off you wanted. Plus you are promises one weekend off a month most retailers do not offer that.

Cons

No breaks except lunch! I asked about it they replied for me to show them the law that says I get breaks. Strick tarty and absense policies. Always short staffed. other then money no thanks or positive support. tights or panty hoses everyday. They do not actually like their employees they put up with them. They put 20 yr old women in charge of a store but its really controlled in devenport by men who never sold a single thing in their lives. the men that run that place do not even know how to ring up a sale. all they do is come in 2 x a year and see how dirty we are. And make a X on the line when you get terminated. They run you and run you and slam the door on you when they are done! Do not work for this company they will make you feel worthless, stupid, and replacable and thats just the first week! Until they get out of this 1880 additude.... Making women were dresses???? Really!!! Having their employees with 7am til 5, 8am to 5 ,12pm to 9 twice a week and twice a year 5 to 5 with a 30 min break???

Pros

nice pay very friendly coworkers nice atmosphere

Cons

young, immature senior managers not qualified and do not lead by example not supported when customers are overly rude do not support having a life outside of work and you have to take a lot of grief just to get a day off tess - computer system will make you work anywhere from 6-14 days without a break Some managers are very insensitive and power hungry The store manager is the only supportive manager but is not mature or strong enough to call out other managers flaws. no return policy so associates have to return worn and damaged merchandise and when call for upper management they do not come. employee return policy is very unfair senior managers do not consider feedback senior managers shop like some of the worst customers and go against company policy all the time

Pros

You can get buying experience at a young age You meet a lot of friends when you are young because everyone is fresh out of college.

Cons

Very strict, school like environment No advancement opportunities Can’t have anything but water at your desk and it must be in a clear bottle Have to share a hotel room when you go to market, sometimes with buyers you don’t even know. Dress code is strict Very little flexibility
