Pros

Professional development (learning valuable job skills that easily translate to other jobs) Product is high profile and easy to sell Customer Service and HR departments are excellent support to company Easy to dress for Easy to relocate

Cons

Professional development - staff learns things 'trial by fire' style and low level staff given too many responsibilities There is no communication from stores to corporation about what is needed from corp. to succeed Associates responsible for sales are given "call in" shifts as if this is a new business and they can't predict the needs of the business. Also, they have to call an hour before they would have to come in which is unreasonable. Professionalism, organization, leadership skills, communication skills all lacking in stores Safety issues a major concern. Management unable to present a united front or to bring teams together to reach a common goal. Corp. does not place people in stores that can speak the language(s) of the demographic Senior management completely out of touch with reality in stores Staff is focused on personal relationships, inappropriate language and behavior a norm.

Pros

Fun products Some customers are nice At the end of the day, it's not all that serious Some people can get away with doing nothing why others do all the work. If you're a lazy person and get away with this stuff, it may be good for you.

Cons

On feet all day Little opportunity for advancement Little pay for all the work
