Pros

The company takes care of itself and it's employees about equally! A lot of people consider the dress code archaic, but I'd much prefer the stockings and a pencil skirt with a little button up or fancy strappy shirt and cardigan to khaki pants and a black, dowdy polo. Sometimes I felt unattractive, but that was the extent of it. Breaks are very liberal, and you can always duck back to get a drink, make a call, use the restroom, etc. I appreciate that SO much in a company. Commission with base pay ended up being very favorable to a part time employee, and probably even more handsome to a full time employee.

Cons

It can get warm standing around, under the warm lights on the sales floor, but it's a large store and there's always someplace a little cooler! Some people may find the amount of time and effort put into following up and staying in contact with a customer obnoxious, but I loved it! Being involved helps you love your job.

Pros

They are fair, they value their employees, and they are closed on holidays! The employees are very friendly. You don't have to deal with attitudes and young college aged employees gossiping on the floor all day.

Cons

They are very strict; policies and procedures can become overwhelming. They pay their employees lower than the competition pays theirs. You only earn 1% of your sales with a base salary that is very low.

Pros

Great benefit package. Good employee discount. It is a beautiful, clean environment to work in. Most associates are kind and friendly.

Cons

Dress code is very restrictive. Out dated technology equipment. Very poor scheduling practices. Sales associates training is very poor. They are overworked and understaffed most of the time which causes good customer service to be very difficult.
