Management is soul-less

Pros

The benefits are nice. Sunday pay, (some) paid holidays, vacation time, etc.

Cons

Management is insensitive and very unsympathetic. HR managers try to keep you in the dark about policies instead of informing associates of things like FMLA. They use your vacation time up without your knowledge or consent (which is apparently legal, but seems unethical). Upper management encourages DM's and Counter managers to blatantly lie to associates. People get promoted based on favoritism rather than how competent they are or how well they do their job. Also, women are required to wear panty hose and skirts/dresses which seems a bit out dated and sexist. You will rarely get positive feed back even when making your sales goal. High turnover in most departments.

Pros

6 paid holidays, 7 holidays off. Major holiday eve's the stores close at 4pm. Decent base pay and 1% incentive commission on everything you sell except gift cards. Store closes at a decent time. No crazy holiday hours.

Cons

Pricy health insurance. 6 day work weeks during holidays and black out. Some times work 12 days in a row. Almost no ot. Only 20% discount. Everyone can be hired in at different pay rates and same for promotions. NEGOTIATE! Some times crappy managers. Same for customers. Depending on location customers can be hell to deal with.
