      Pros

      *Company sends candy to appreciate associates *Scratch cards for doing well in a contest *Fun associates

      Cons

      *The pressure of this job is NOT worth the pay *Feels horrible to have to tell the associates the same thing a thousand times and pretend like its new information. "OK! lets focus on conversion!... "now last week we focused on conversion! But this week we will focus on conversion!... Alright guys! we need to bring up this conversion!" *Floor-sets on MANY major holidays (Christmas eve, Mothers day, super bowl Sunday) *Their "life-work balance" is an absolute lie. *Cheated out of breaks *The focus on conversion will make you hate children that come in with their parents (heaven forbid if someone has to run to their car for their coupons!) *You can do amazing at sales for months on end, but be burned at the stake for a bad week *Greatly un- accomplish-able goals. *Even if you are great... you are still bad at SOMETHING *One word. "Coaching" *Call in shifts

      Pros

      You have a job and it smells nice.

      Cons

      There is no room for growth. Management only promote other management and/or friends of friends, especially if you are the right color. Minorities(includes homosexuals) are treated like slaves and looked down on by management. Corporate is not much different. The push for sales so that they can get their bonuses and look at you like you are worthless.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to connect with associates Discount on full price merch Holiday hours for some people Gratis and corporate associate appreciation Wonderful customers

      Cons

      Favoritism in stores, if your management team doesn't like you, you don't get hours, can't advance with the company, or get transferred to a less hostile store. You're expected to drop everything and come in, if you have to miss a shift due to unforeseen issues, the backlash is severe. Yearly reviews do not match an increase in cost of living. Associates aren't permitted to take breaks or leave the floor to go to the bathroom, while managers take up to two hours and won't cover the sales floor. Backlash from management on pursuing outside opportunities. Too many HR and Labor Board violations to list. If it weren't for several wonderful people I met, I wish I had never taken this job.
