Pros

It's a fast paced environment, and there are plenty of opportunities for advancement. Our customers, for the most part, are people who are interested in the same things that we are: cheap fashion that doesn't necessarily LOOK cheap. You learn something new at work every day, and this job has taught me a lot about the world outside of the college bubble. If you like to work hard and stay busy at work, then this might be the place for you too.

Cons

It is not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to stick yourself out there and make the best of it, because the store changes every day. Literally. And you won't always be recognized and patted on the back for just keeping up, but it's what you have to do to get the job done. Honestly though, it's the most fun I've had in retail, and it's probably the only place I'd want to be.
